Love and Leave
Journey of Love and Letting Go
Lyrics
One drink at the bar turns in to two
Initiating a night out with a casual drink
I went in alone, stumbled out the door with you
Entering the bar alone, leaving with someone else
Slid on in to the backseat of that taxi
Getting into a taxi and heading somewhere
Couldn't stop thinking 'bout the love that we hadn't found yet
Reflecting on a love yet to be discovered
We looked into each other's eyes
Intimate eye contact between two individuals
Couldn't say no even though we knew it wasn't right
Choosing to proceed despite knowing it's not right
I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
Acknowledging a self-destructive path
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
Adapting to a lifestyle filled with regret
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
Waking up in unfamiliar beds with remorse
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind
Desiring to break free from destructive habits
There was a time before all the one night stands
Recalling a time before casual relationships
When a young man learned what heartache was because he didn't understand
Learning about heartache due to lack of understanding
That she had fallen hard for him
Noting a deep emotional connection in the past
Maybe he was just naive but he didn't get what that meant
Being naive about the consequences of love
So he learned the consequences
Facing and understanding the repercussions
He broke her heart and that broke histhat broke his
Experiencing mutual heartbreak in a relationship
I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
Acknowledging the negative trajectory of current choices
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
Being accustomed to living with past mistakes
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
Consistently waking up with regret in unfamiliar places
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind
Expressing a desire to break free from the cycle
I'm not hopeless, I know you're out there
Believing in the possibility of finding true love
Won't you show me what forever really means
Asking for a genuine understanding of everlasting commitment
I ain't done tryin' and girl I'm buyin'
Expressing determination to keep trying in relationships
So won't you sit down here and have a drink with me
Inviting someone to share a moment and thoughts over a drink
You can tell me what you think
Openness to hearing the other person's perspective
I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a destructive path
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
Being accustomed to living with past mistakes
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
Consistently waking up with regret in unfamiliar places
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind
Expressing a strong desire to break free from the cycle
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind
Reaffirming the intention to break free from destructive habits
