Mike Mills (R.E.M.) - Leave lyrics

[Verse 1] Nothing could be bring me closer Nothing could be bring me near Where is the road I follow To leave, leave? It's under, under, under my feet The sea spread out there before me Where do I go when the land touches sea? There is my trust in what I believe [Chorus] That's what keeps me[x2] That's what keeps me down To leave, believe it Leave it all behind [Verse 2] Shifting the dream Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time Shifting the dream It's charging the scene I know where I marked the signs I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad I like it like that and I know it I know it well, ugly and sweet I temper madness with an even extreme That's what keeps me[x2] That's what keeps me down I say that I'm a bantam lightweight I say that I'm a phantom airplane That never left the ground [Chorus] [Verse 3] Lift me, lift me I attain my dream I lost myself, I lost the Heartache calling me I lost myself in sorrow I lost myself in pain I lost myself in gravity Memory, leave, leave [Chorus][x2] [Verse 4] Lift my hands, my eyes are still I'll walk into the sea Shoot myself in a different place And leave it I've longed for this to take me I've longed for my release I've waited for the calling To leave, leave [Outro] Leave, leave Leaving, leaving
