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
