[Verse 1]
Just got back from Kill Devil Falls
Draped my water-logged clothes in the hall
Reach for a beer, glad that I'm here
When I realize that you're not around

[Verse 2]
Turned on some music and then the TV
Go through the pile of mail waitin' for me
Something I spied makes me pull it aside
A letter from your hometown

[Chorus]
How could you leave me? You heard what I said
I'd be at the waterfall clearin' my head
Soakin' up nature and thinkin' of you
And leaving's the last thing I thought you would do
I didn't plan to stop at the bar
But Kill Devil Falls is really so far
Who knew a day would turn into a week?

[Post-Chorus]
But I learned my lesson
And I can still remember the last one
But this time will be different, until I do it again
[Verse 3]
Stared at the ceiling for over a day
But none of my questions are answered this way
Won't make any calls, I'll just bounce off the walls
'Til I go back to Kill Devil Falls

[Chorus]
How could you leave me? You heard what I said
I'd be at the waterfall clearin' my head
Soakin' up nature and thinkin' of you
And leaving's the last thing I thought you would do
I didn't plan to stop at the bar
But Kill Devil Falls is really so far
Who knew a day would turn into a week?

[Post-Chorus]
But I learned my lesson
And yes, I still remember the last one
But this time will be different
This time will be different

[Bridge 1]
And I stand at the base of the mountain
Don't follow me
And I step right up to the cliff side
Gotta learn how to leap
And I stare straight into the future
Tell me, what do you see?
This time's gonna be different
[Bridge 2]
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Oh-oh, oh-oh, woah
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Oh-oh

[Post-Chorus]
But I learned my lesson
And I can still remember the last one
But this time will be different

[Interlude]
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls
