Brighter skies, just in time
New horizon, start the climb
To higher ground, one way out
Not looking down, that's what leaving's all about

Stand back, take time
Keep what's yours, take what's mine
Share blame, think change
Time to start a new page
Be scared, be prepared
Be honest, do what's fair
Stand up, take your bow
That's what leaving's all about

When love's getting you down
Making your head spin 'round and 'round, yeah
When love comes into doubt
No one wants to watch it play out
That's what leaving's all about
New song, new sound
That's what leaving's all about

Don't live with the hurting
It's like a cancer
Don't be living in churches
That's not the answer
Retrace your steps, see what's next
Make up that ground
That's what leaving's all about

Stand back, take time
Keep what's yours, take what's mine
Share blame, think change
Time to start a new page
Be scared, be prepared
Be honest, do what's fair
Stand up, take your bow
That's what leaving's all about
Make up that ground
That's what leaving's all about

When love's getting you down
Making your head spin 'round and 'round, yeah
When love comes into doubt
No one wants to watch it play out
That's what leaving's all about
New song, new sound
That's what leaving's all about

Brighter skies, just in time
New horizon, start the climb
To higher ground, one way out
Make up that ground
That's what leaving's all about

Get out, run fast
Don't look, there's no way back
Pack up and put it in the past
Yeah, get out, let go
Get back to where you know
Take back your crown
That's what leaving's all about

When love's getting you down
Making your head spin 'round and 'round, yeah
When love comes into doubt
No one wants to watch it play out
That's what leaving's all about
New song, new sound
That's what leaving's all about
