Blood shot eyes in the morning
Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
The plane touches down and I can see those street lights
Plane touches down and I know it's time to fly
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
Gets so cold here in the evening
Wait til the dark that I build my firelight
Feel such a fool to just keep waiting
Feel such a fool cause I know I still hope to find
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave
But I want you to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
You're not taking the easy way out
Star-crossed nights in the canyon
Everybody fighting just to hold their place in line
They come from all the farthest reaches
Everybody looking for something I hope they find
One thing they can't leave behind
One thing they can't leave
Eyes fall open with the first light
Make my way down to the ocean burning blue
Each day I'm cast a little farther
Each day the current pulls me closer down to you
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave
But I want you to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
Just remember to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
You're not taking the easy way out
I can show you the easy way down
Blood shot eyes in the morning
Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
