When You Leave


All you ever have to do

Is ask me

If you wanted to leave

Leave behind this town

This nowhere place

I'd take your hand

And we'd be gone without a trace

When it comes to you

And what

You need from me

All you ever have to do

Is ask me

 

Suddenly

Breathing isn;t so hard

Waking up

Has a new purpose

And my life

Has a meaning

It didn't before

Before you

I couldn't take anymore

I was cumbling 

Buried under the weight

Nothing mattered

It was almost too late

So close

And then you came

And I knew

I would never be the same

 

So 

If you want to leave

Leave this broken town behind

Leave it all

Let it go

I'll go

I'll follow

I'll fly into tomorrow

With you

If you want to go

Just say the word

And I'm all yours

I'm all you'll ever need

So just tell me

When and where

I'm all packed up

Ready to go

Because with you

I'll follow 

I'll take your lead

Just please

Take me

When you leave
