Never would guess you'd take my place
Is yours a real state of grace
Tumbled back, caught in a rip tide
Regret's a thing that I can't hide
I don't miss it; Maybe I took home along with me
But I couldn't live if I didn't leave
If you hadn't been trapped I would still be there
You probably think that I don't even care
But I remember, wild, free
The crazy bastard you used to be
Some days I miss him; maybe I took some of him with me
But I couldn't live if I didn't leave
Combing the earth, it all turns to dust
Like Tantalus reaching I begin to rust
A thirst unquenched for you but not me
I left, I found love and new country
It's in my bones; always with me
I just couldn't live if I didn't leave
