Michael Rossback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't leave me here to live on my own
They'll never be a better time
So stick around just to see
Where the streets of Baltimore just might lead
If you want to we don't have to leave
You'll won't ever wonder if it's love
Cause wherever you go, you know, I'll call it home
Don't take too long
I know you've got some things going on
Just as long as I know when you're done
You'll make your way out to me
And we'll discover what we will be
If you want, tomorrow, we can leave
And, oh, we'll be living in our best days
You won't ever wonder if it's love
Cause wherever you go, you know, I'll call it home
And oh we'll living in our best days
You won't ever wonder if it's love
Cause where you go, you know, I'll call it home
Over the edge
I've fallen
Over the edge
And, oh, we'll be living in our best days
You won't ever wonder if it's love
Cause wherever you go, you know, I'll call it home
And, oh, we'll be living in our best days
You won't ever wonder if it's love
Cause wherever you go, you know, I'll call it home
We'll be living in our best days
Living in our best days
We'll be living in our best days
Living in our best days
Ooooh, Ooooh
