Now here it comes if you like it or not

It's about an arm's length reach

Who would have ever thought

Just let me know if you're ready to stop

You'd be the perfect catch

For a small town cop

But he's coming up

Got a place in the sky

To keep us grounded

Not a cloud that's in sight

We don't talk about it



Tell me why would you walk away

When you know we've got everything you need

Now you're throwing it all away



God I hate to be such a major dissappointment

How did we survive

When you build a wall around yourself

You get used to the inside

If you ask me to describe

I couldn't find the words to say

I could hide out for a while

But I know I could never stay

Got a place in the sky

To keep us grounded

Not a cloud that's in sight

We don't talk about it



Tell me why would you walk away

When you know we've got everything you need

Now you're throwing it all away



Now I start to think

Well, don't knock until you've tried

But I swear it isn't like that

Yeah I swear it isn't like that

Tell me what you thought now

Because your first time could be your last time

And I can't say you won't regret it

But I can't say you will



Tell me why would you walk away

Tell me why would you walk away

When you know we've got everything you need

Now you're throwing it all away
