Give 'em up, let 'em go
Will follow, won't let him follow
Take a breathe, steal away
Let him play these games, play these games
Can't cry, won't fight
Not tonight
Not turning off these lights
Can't shout, can't scream
Thinking me
(But I can let that be)

Holding on, letting go
Why do we do this, we don't know
Stepping out standing up
Look below
I'm still hanging no more
Swept away off my feet
Can't believe how I've been floating lately
Sense a new avenue
Know what to do
(Just gotta let it take me)

On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can't run
Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

Run a wave, the new rave
Let it loose and now it's losing me
Caught between being me or a tragedy, tragedy
Riding high, cloud nine
Won't let me through their gates no more
Found a place to escape
I'm out the door
(Leaving another girl sore)

Oh, you'll be fine, about time
Need someone to hold back my hands
Let me loose, let me fall, they'll understand, understand
Heard it once, maybe twice
They'll find you in a ditch somewhere
Spreading wings, sliver things 
(Are keeping you away from here)

On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can't run
Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
But the damage is done

(Shutting you out, shutting you out, shutting you out, shutting you out)

I'm shutting you out
I'm gonna leave you behind
One step at a time
I'm gonna do it 'cause I said so
I'm gonna make it 'cause I said so
Hey yeah yeah, uh, shutting you out
Hey yeah
Yeah I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm shutting you out
I'm gonna shut you out

On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago
Any place I go you can't run
Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow
Telling stories mine has just begun
Taking over, leaving no traces
Only smiling faces in the sun
Starting over, tying up my laces
(But the damage is done)

The damage is done
The damage is done
The damage is done
The damage is done...
