close your eyes and count to ten take a minute breathe it in watch it mixing with the wind outside your window like salt into the ocean back to where i belong pedal down a brand new song take one off to try one on cause there s no secret to this life i love you but i m leaving i hope you figure out some day what it is you re needing but if you can t help yourself i can t make myself stay every little chord and tone ring them out stick by stone i know it used to be my home it s far behind me and i m not lookin back no not even a second glance water over dirty hands and though it doesn t make much sense right now i ll let it just work out in the end i love you but i m leaving i hope you figure some day what it is you re needing but if you can t help yourself i can t make myself stay and though i don t owe an explanation you re kind of like sitting too close to a fire i know a few feet would make it better but this chair s so heavy it s late i m getting tired but long gone are the days where i sit by and wait for you to just burn out or burn me up so this is goodbye i love you but i m leaving i hope you figure out some day what it is you re needing but if you can t help yourself i can t make myself stay
