I've been here for a while

Let the world come to me

It's easier that way

I drink in what I see

How can I leave

How can I leave

She knows me so well

Better than I know myself

How can I leave

How can I leave



The dance on my street

Was elegant and wild

Her lips were salty sweet

Hidden in a flawless smile

How can I leave

How can I leave



This is where I fly

She didn't stand a chance

And here is where I die to tell her

It's out of my hands



The truth is it doesn't have to end

Meet in the middle and we'll do it all again

The truth is that life begins to bend

Around itself and turns before it comes around again



Stole my first kiss

Underneath her summer sun

How can I leave

How can I leave



The first thing I see every time I close my eyes

Sea and land meet

Amarillo sun is rising

How can I leave

How can I leave



This is where she cries

I didn't stand a chance

And here is where I die to tell her

It's out of our hands



[Chorus]



And I said enough

I've done what I came here for

And maybe more than that

But the devil you know

Is safer than the chance that you take with something new



[Chorus]
