I get that leaving feeling this time it's here to stay I've been weighing up the pulling and pushing me away. the past is so heavy but it's something I can't leave and this future is so certain it just pushes me to my knees.
Lhasa : Is that your heart talking or just that befuddled mind? the people that you love they change when you leave them behind.
stuart staples : But this rope that is pulling is whittled down to a thread and if I don't start climbing pretty soon it'll be over my head
Lhasa : we all have dreams of leaving we all want to make a new start, go and pack a 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 those step on to a train.
Stuart Staples : But I've been too long wandering limping around this town with everything that's pulling me is pulling me further down.
Lhasa : Go make all your excuses, go say all you goodbyes but take a look in the mirror it's the hardest one you'll ever find. all those worries and those sorrows you can just toss them away. go find a new tomorrow and forget about your yesterdays. so go and pat your kids and kiss your dog goodbye, leave your keys on the nail with the sadness that's in your eyes.
Stuart Staples : Maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain and I'll leave everything in order I don't want nothing standing in my way there are jobs that need tending and the logs that are waiting to stack and I'll leave everything in order I don't want nothing that's going to hold me back
