And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks

then we'll talk about leaving town
yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time, and I swear it's my last try


We rode across that bridge all night
we talked our way through city lights

traced all the lines, we're killing time
under those buzzing signs
from downtown to anywhere but here

tonight, yeah, I swear to these rooftops
and just hoped that car would never stop


[Chorus:]
And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and we'll walk in circles around this whole block

walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
and we'll talk about leaving town
and we'll talk about leaving

I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try

We drove around this place all night

past closed signs and familiar sights
we're moving by, passing time
counting those center lines

with 20,000 lines left to go
that lead to somewhere I don't know
it might be the time that we leave this all behind


[Chorus]


And there's been a few times
that we thought it felt right
to take all the westbound signs

and just leave town tonight

And I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try

and we'll walk in circles around this whole block
walk on the cracks of the same old sidewalks
and we'll talk about leaving town

yeah we'll talk about leaving
I swear it's the last time and I swear it's my last try
and I swear it's my last try

and we'll talk about leaving town
and we'll talk about leaving town
