HAVE TO LEAVE Lyrics
by Summer

I have to leave
I have to go
Of what’s next
I don’t pretend to know

I ate the food
I walked the streets
talked to the people
This city’s been good to me

I’ve lived all over this country
And If there’s one thing I know
It’s that people don’t live in places
They live in hearts and minds and souls

You say that I just keep moving
You say that I can’t keep still
Would you say the same of the ocean waves?
Or the clouds on a windy day?
Or when the seasons change?
Baby, you know my name

I have to leave
I have to go
I wish I had the time
To know you better

Will you remember me
As the girl with the crazy hair
As adventure on the subway
Or temptation
Was I just temptation?

I’m not trying to steal you away
I just wanted a few kisses more
But desire’s got nothin’ on virtue
When you walk away
Then you stay away

So Goddamn the timing
And goddamn the lighting
Damn everything
that keeps it
All out of reach

I have to leave
I have to go
It always ends like this

I have to leave
I have to go
It always ends like this
But it never ends
Never really ends
