if you want
we could leave tonight
pull up our stakes and take the clothes on our backs
drop all our records at the nearest army post
quit our jobs
sell the car
we'll dance better with our pockets empty
and our boots worn thin
high tide / leave the house, leave the phone
empty / leave everything that we own
we need / to learn to be alone
high tide / there's nothing left but the door
empty / sick and stuck to the floor
we need / something else, something more
oh oh oh
i know
you said goodbye to the streetlights
you said goodbye to the north side
you said goodbye to the shore
i know
you said goodbye to our old friends
you said goodbye to our new ones
you said goodbye to the shore
well we met some kids and we played the part
and we met some girls and they broke our hearts
and the same beat going on and on and on and on
well we met some kids and we made some art
and we met some boys and we broke their hearts
and the same beat going on and on and on and on
high tide / leave the house, leave the phone
empty / leave everything that we own
we need / to learn to be alone
high tide / there's nothing left but the door
empty / sick and stuck to the floor
we need / something else, something more
oh oh oh
