[Verse 1]
There's a fallen tree by a creek side
That you laid on, and told me
Don't let the fear of losing me
Keep from you from moving on
[Verse 2]
Far from the prying eyes
Of our friends who came
By the fireflies that show a way
We're starting to slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
That's when I was in love
Just for you to hear me play
Starting to realize
I'm the one that doesn't stay
[Chorus] (2x)
I'm the one that goes away
I'm the one that goes away
[Verse 3]
Ancient stars through our fingertips
Sizzling wind through the maple trees
A hummin' cross
That just took off
[Bridge]
Fall asleep
Under the piano
Don't wake up
Until tomorrow
[Chorus] (3x)
I'm the one that goes away
I'm the one that goes away
