If I Stay

(앨범: Big Love - 1996)

Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Choking the life from me
And leaving my dreams gasping for breath

I've lost sight
And so have you
Of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the line.

And I can't live like this no more
Knowing just outside that door
There's a road
That leaves this all behind.

There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leaving
And there's nothing in this world you can say
So don't insist on standing in my way
I can't find me if I stay.

If you really love me
If you care at all
You'll gladly step aside
I've given you the best of me
And now the rest of me
Is gonna take a ride.

There's a gravel road that turns into a two-lane blacktop highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointing out a white line
To a man I haven't been in quite awhile.

There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leaving
And there's nothing in this world you can say
So don't insist on standing in my way
I can't find me if I stay.

I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay.
I can't find me if I stay...
