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 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]
