lyrics

I’m gonna leave this place tonight.
I’m gonna drive, drive south to the city lights
behind the trees where you’ve been hiding.
Oh God, I wish I could be hiding.

I'm gonna burn this house tonight.
I’m gonna drive away
‘til I can’t see the flames burning high
I’m gonna leave it all to the past tonight.

I’ve been climbing up this mountain.
I’m gonna climb my way to heaven.

You say all you really fear is dying.
Well, my darling you’re gonna die.
And I'll be here without you.
I will be so cold at night.

I’ve been climbing up this mountain.
I’m gonna climb my way to heaven.

I’ll live my life while I can live it.
I don’t need a second chance like you.
So let me in, or I’ll get out.
I can’t keep waiting around for you.
