that leaving feeling

I got that leaving feeling and this time it's here to stay

I've been weighing up the pulling and pushing me away

The past is just so heavy, but it's something that I can't leave

And this future is so uncertain, it pushes me to my knees

is that your heart talking or just that befuddled mind?

The people that you love they change when you leave them behind

But this road that is pulling is weared down to a thread

And if I don't start climbing pretty soon it'll be over my head

We all have dreams of leaving we all want to make a new start

Go and pack that little suitcase with the pieces of our hearts

All those worries and those sorrows, we can just toss them away

Buy a coffee and a paper and go step on to a train

But I've been to long wondering, limping around this town

with everything that is pulling, is pulling me further down

Go and make all your excuses and say all your goodbye's

But take a look in the mirror it's the hardest one you'll ever find

All those worries and those sorrows, we can just toss them away

Go and find a new tomorrow and forget about your yesterdays

go and pack your ideas and kiss your kids goodbye

leave the keys on the mail with the sadness that's in your eyes

maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain

and I'll leave everything in order, don't want nothing standing in my way

there're jobs that need attending and the logs that are waiting to stock

and I'll leave everything in order, don't want nothing gonna hold me back
