R.E.M. "Leave" lyrics

Leave

Nothing could be bring me closer.Nothing could be bring me near.Where is the road I followTo leave, leave?

It's under, under, under my feet.The sea spread out there before me.Where do I go when the land touches sea?There is my trust in what I believe.

That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me down,To leave, believe it,Teave it all behind.

Shifting the dreamNothing could bring me further from my old friend time.Shifting the dreamIt's charging the sceneI know where I marked the signs.

I suffer the dreams of a world gone madI like it like that and I know itI know it well, ugly and sweet,That temper madness with an even extreme.

That's what keeps meThat's what keeps meThat's what keeps me downI say that I'm a bantam lightweightI say that I'm a phantom airplaneThat never left the ground.

That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me down,To leave it, believe it.Leave it all behind.

Lift me, lift me,I attain my dream.I lost myself, I lost theHeartache calling me.I lost myself in sorrowI lost myself in pain.I lost myself in clarity,Memory, leave, leave.

That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me down,To leave it, believe it,Leave it all behind.

That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me,That's what keeps me down,To leave it, believe it,Leave it all behind.

Lift my hands, my eyes are still,I'll walk into the seaShoot myself in a different placeAnd leave it

I've longed for this to take me,I've longed for my releaseI've waited for the callin'To leave, leave.

Leave, leave.Leavin', leavin'
