We Leave Tonight Songtext
von moi Caprice

Here we are waiting, we have said all our goodbyes
Two first class tickets to a train that′s passed us by
But it feels like moving on now

We saw them sailing, so we ran towards the shore
The piers were all empty, they don't stop here anymore
But it feels like moving on now

The planes left without us and we couldn′t make them stop
But though we're stranded I've given up on giving up
′Cause it feels like moving on now
We forgot to remember how delightfully tender it can be
′Cause they spoke of the past, why those days couldn't last
Happiness in past tense
Well, they′ve been pulling your leg again
But please stop fooling yourself


We'll move on, leave this town where they drag you to the ground
And you′d say there were days when the light shone all around
Well, that sun has come up and I don't know who to fight
It′s not getting any worse, it's just different and we leave tonight

We were young and full of hope then with the big decisions happily postponed
If you don't know what you want then you can end up with a lot of things you don′t
Now they′re tearing down the only town we've known

Well, the Roman Empire crumbled, they had yet to learn the laws of gravity
But the apple that doesn′t wish to be eaten will eventually someday fall off the tree
Now they're tearing down the forest and here is the open sky
Out here there′s no place to hide
We dreamed of a better life
We dreamed of another life

We dreamed of a better life
We dreamed of another life
At least we could try to try
I watched as those planes flew by
