Tekst piosenki

język tekstu: angielski
Nothing could be bring me closer Nothing could be bring me near Where is the road I follow To leave, leave? It's under, under, under my feet The sea spread out there before me Where do I go when the land touches sea? There is my trust in what I believe That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave, believe it Leave it all behind Shifting the dream Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time Shifting the dream It's charging the scene I know where I marked the signs I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad I like it like that and I know it I know it well, ugly and sweet I temper madness with an even extreme That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down I say that I'm a bantam lightweight I say that I'm a phantom airplane That never left the ground That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave it, believe it Leave it all behind Lift me, lift me I attain my dream I lost myself, I lost the Heartache calling me I lost myself in sorrow I lost myself in pain I lost myself in gravity Memory, leave, leave That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave it, believe it Leave it all behind That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave it, believe it Leave it all behind Lift my hands, my eyes are still I'll walk into the sea Shoot myself in a different place And leave it I've longed for this to take me I've longed for my release I've waited for the callin' To leave, leave Leave, leave Leavin', leavin'
