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]
