[Verse 1]
I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said, and then I thought some more
You say your life has all been chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown

[Verse 2]
Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognize the tone
Buy me a ticket, please, to anywhere I'll go
I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long

[Chorus]
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time
Leave it all behind

[Verse 3]
What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
There's too much going on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out

[Chorus]
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time (Time)
We will see if there's a place that we can go
Someplace that no one else will know how to find (Find)
Leave it all behind
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Try to whisper but you start to scream and shout (Start to scream and shout)
What you need is just a place to let it out (Let it out)

[Chorus]
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time
We will see if there's a place that we can go
Someplace that no one else will know how to find
Leave it all behind
