Leave It All Behind Lyrics

Written by William Owsley, Tommy Sims & Amy Grant

 

 I took a drive along the west bank of the shore

 I thought of what you said and then I thought some more

 You say your life is all but chisled out in stone

 And all you want is just a taste of the unknown

 

 Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone

 You say you need a change, I recognized the tone

 Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go

 I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong

 I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long

 

 So why don't we just up and leave it all behind

 Maybe a change would ease your mind

 For a time, leave it all behind

 

 What I really want to do is see you smile

 Hear you talk and let me listen for a while

 There's too much going on to keep it all inside

 You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout

 What you need is just a place to let it out

 

 Chorus:

 So why don't we just up and leave it all behind

 Maybe a change would ease your mind, for a time

 We will see if there's a place that we can go

 Someplace that no one else will know how to find

 Leave it all behind

 

 You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout

 What you need is just a place to let it out

 

 (Repeat Chorus)
