Record Tracklist

  1. Leave You Behind -:-- / -:--

You flew me to Mars
Where you wooed me with stars
Then you laughed at the sense of such flight
Always changing your mind
Sends me crashing down from on high
Landing hard onto the truth I’ve denied

Oh it’s high time I get you off my mind
It’s high time I leave you behind

Your magic on me is like no trick I’ve seen
‘Cause blind eyes can find the “true” in “too good”
Sawing my whole heart in half
You practice your vanishing act
Taking off the same way that I never could

But it’s high time I get you off my mind
It’s high time I leave you behind

I gave you a season to stand up straight
And give me a reason to stay
You sang me your same old tune,
“Baby, I’ll get there very soon”
But, honey, never is too long to wait

If I had a dime for all of the times
Your memory sweeps through my head
I could buy comfort in some other man
‘Cause I hate to admit I’ll be sad
That never again will you be sweetening my bed

Oh it’s high time I get you off my mind
It’s high time I leave you behind
It’s high time I leave you behind
