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]
