Leave The World Behind
Amies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of what you said then I thought some more
You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown
Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognize the tone
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long
[Chorus:]
So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind
What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
There's too much going on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
[Chorus:]
You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
[Chorus:]
