You can see it coming from miles away
I smell it right when it decays
Our wounds get deeper over time
I'll patch up yours if you'll patch up mine
We leave the best behind
This year I thought I'd take a break
This year I forgot my Mom's birthday
Do you ever feel like you're running in place?
A million dreams but nothing to say
We leave the best behind
People are puzzles I can't figure out
Good thing for me I shut my mouth
The funny is there's nothing to say
When we all get fat and die someday
We leave the best behind
You can hear it in footsteps on the street
A thousands faces staring at the sea
A means to an end with none in sight
The rules of the game but no will to fight
We leave the best behind
You can see it coming from miles away
You can smell it right when it decays
Our wounds get deeper over time
I'll patch up yours if you'll patch up mine
We leave the best behind
But we take whatever we find
But we leave... we leave the best behind
(woo!)
