[Verse 1]
Well you asked me if I've got a plan for living
And I said what I've got is not a given
Yeah well maybe you once knew somebody
Within an inch of your life
Who was doing what's right
But please, I beg, forgive him

[Chorus]
Got a plan for living
And a plan for leaving
If you ain't giving
You get banned for breathing
Guess you can breathe your relief
To watch me leaving

[Verse 2]
They always said I had a melancholic streak
Every valley had itself an inverted peak
And I always wondered if it was we'd ever speak again
Or remain on paper
Yeah
We'll just remain good friends

[Chorus]
I've got a plan for living
And a plan for leaving
If you ain't giving
Then I ain't receiving
Don't believe
Well you'll just see
As you watch me leaving
[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I've got a plan for living
And a plan for leaving
If you ain't giving
You get blamed for breathing
I can see we just can't be
So I'll be leaving
