If I had anything to say to you, this would be it


I never wanted to leave this town 
I never wanted to let you do 
I swear I'll let you pound me like a nail into the wall 
if thats what it takes 
to make you stay 

Its so loud I can hear no sounds 
only that of the rumors going around 
and you feel so far away 
I don't know if I can take 
it 
I can't stay here 

And no I won't forget it 
I know I won't forget it 
on the sea shore 
no I'm not sure 
where I want to be 

How can I say goodbye 
when you just opened up for hello 
I feel so hollow 
I feel so low 
So it goes... 

Maybe I'll find it 
I don't know why I'm finding 
climbing my mountain 
I don't have a plan 
for where I want to be 

People always say it gets better 
but thats not true for this weather 
I can't find the sun in the clouds 
I don't know how 

And this is finally over 
I'm leaving tomorrow 
don't look for my back 
I won't come back 
I simply need to be 

And no I won't forget it 
I know I won't forget it 
On the sea shore 
I am sure 
this is where I have to be
