Leave Alone

The air clenches your teeth
You bite down as you sleep
You lie awake in the night
Fearing what you might dream

I want to change it
Put your worry behind
Keep the world
Far from your feet

You don’t have to
Leave alone
We both know
How that goes
And I can’t wait
To take you home
You don’t have to
Leave alone

The earth pinches your feet
There’s nothing underneath
You’ve had to much of the night
Or you haven’t had your fill

I want to change it
Put your hand in mind
We’ve got all the time
To kill

You don’t have to
Leave alone
We both know
How that goes
And I can’t wait
To take you home
You don’t have to
Leave alone

We both know how that goes
