Never Leave Lyrics

Flyin' down a highway, headed south for something new

I know I got it my way, but I can't help feeling blue

All of the late night brake lights and places I grew up

It wasn't much, but it was always just enough

I knew that it would hit me, but I wasn't sure quite when

It's funny how the hindsight seems to have a clearer lens

To look back and see you be who you always thought you were

It's funny how all that time can pass in such a blur

'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself

Had the straight-A last day of second grade

And the trophies on his shelf

He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and

Always gave 'em hell

In a town where he had everything he'd need

I bet he never thought he'd leave

Now everything is changing, and I'm not quite keeping up

I try to give my all, but that seems to never be enough

Yeah, I used to know how things go and always had a plan

I'm not really sure how everything got out of hand

'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself

Had the straight-A last day of second grade

And the trophies on his shelf

He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and

Always gave 'em hell

In a town where he had everything he'd need

I bet he never thought he'd leave

This place that he had all figured out

He never thought it'd go this way

But I guess his time is now

Oh, to try, and to fall

And get up, and get all

He's ever thought up in that crazy mind

And now's the time

'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself

Had the straight-A last day of second grade

And the trophies on his shelf

He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and

Always gave 'em hell

In a town where he had everything he'd need

Oh, it's time that he got up and finally leaves

And goes and gets those dreams

Goes and gets those dreams
