[Verse]
I’ve been here for a while
Been here my whole life
I’ve been here for a while
Heard the sounds
Seen the sights
A story round every corner
Over every wall
Yeah, this is where I felt
Like I could have it all
But home was with you
And home I have no more
Now I’m off to find a place for me
And a home for sure
[Chorus]
And this is where I take my leave
Cause I really got to go
Sorry but baby please
Don’t try to follow
This is where I drive away
Who knows if I’ll be back one day
But baby please
Don’t try to follow me
[Verse]
I’ve been here for a while
Been here my whole life
I’ve been here for a while
Been here with you
Taking our time
Building up our stories
All over this whole town
Now I just can’t go anywhere
Cause I feel you all around
There’s nothing left for me here
That doesn’t bring me back to you
Now I’m leaving California to put this city
In my rear view
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I know that it’s been hard for you
Babe you know that it’s been hard for me
You know that I let you choose
And now you have to let me be
[Chorus]
