If I Don’t Leave Here Now
[Verse 1]
They say if it ever was it's in there still
You can dig and fill and never will be full
Trying to get that good again
Your last fifth of jack or cigarette
The time you bet the farm before you lost it all
You want that feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
Back you go against the wind and good advice
Killing yourself to stop from running out of life
[Chorus]
But if I don't leave here now
I will never get out of this place
Baby, believe me now
There's no dragon to chase
Even looking at your face
In front of me
[Verse 2]
If there was ever one there could be two
You and you and you a blue sky could be bluer
A whiter shade of white
But while you pour it on you pour it out
You empty everything you might have saved instead
For your loneliest night
[Pre-Chorus]
Back you go against the wind and good advice
Killing yourself to stop from running out of life
[Chorus]
But if I don't leave here now
I will never get out of this place
Baby, believe me now
There's no dragon to chase
Even looking at your face
In front of me
[Bridge]
And when it hits the papers
The tongues start wagging like it can't be happening
The doctors giveth and they taketh away
When they do you'll find you stand up everyman
Goes looking for his heroin
It happens every day
Around every bend
Again and again
[Chorus]
If I don't leave here now
I will never get out of this place
Baby, believe me now
There's no dragon to chase
Even looking at your face
In front of me
