Lyrics

Up on a hill, here's where we begin
This little story, a long time ago
Stop to pretend, stop reaching in
It seems this game is simply neverending

Oh in the sun shine having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go
Oh let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving just in time
Stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean
Trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So I'll pretend I'm leaving

I feel so different now1
We trained at ava
I wish you hadn't stayed
My visions clearer now but I'm unafraid
Flyin' over seas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties

Oh in the sun shine having fun, it's in my blood
I just can't help it, don't want you here right now
Let me go, wooooooooo
Darling let me go go go go go go go go

Leaving just in time
Stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean
Trying to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So this is why I'm leaving
