The Leaving Song

Leaving Song:
Stood today on the edge of tomorrow, holding on to yesterday.
And teetered on the precipice of sorrow, god I wish that you would stay.
But, I know, we've both been here before - it's time we closed that door.
Chorus: And if I turn my music loud enough. And, if I turn my heart 'round fast enough tonight, I'll be alright.
We both spoke the world in metaphors: black and white and greed and spite.
And we, stayed in the playground of our thoughts -
A level distance from our hearts, but if I wanna pull you down from there tonight -
Would that be alright?
Chorus
You taught me that I could see, I showed you that you could be the
very thing you are, the truth is never far,
And, I will find you somehow
Chorus
