Leave It All Behind - Live
There's something seeping through the walls
It spreads while I'm asleep
And by the time I wake up its hanging all around me
And though I can't see it
I know that it's there
Something thick and greedy
I feel it in the air
And oh oh oh, it weighs on my mind
Oh oh oh, I'm thinking that it's time
To leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There's something lurking in the streets
I know it's always there
A sneaking suspicion, a chill in the air
And though it's not aimed at me
I feel it all the same
Centuries of history
Taking their aim
And oh oh oh, when will it end
Oh oh oh, who can I defend
If I leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There's something right in front of us
A memory that must speak
All the ghosts of history
Raised in a week
And though the gates are open
Our leaders can't see
Stumbling and hiding
They can't get us free
And oh oh oh, it's a play without an end
Oh oh oh, there's nothing to defend
We gotta leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Thank you, thank you
I wrote that song three blocks from here
It did not travel far
Eh it did, to San Francisco and back, but
It spreads while I'm asleep
And by the time I wake up its hanging all around me
And though I can't see it
I know that it's there
Something thick and greedy
I feel it in the air
And oh oh oh, it weighs on my mind
Oh oh oh, I'm thinking that it's time
To leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There's something lurking in the streets
I know it's always there
A sneaking suspicion, a chill in the air
And though it's not aimed at me
I feel it all the same
Centuries of history
Taking their aim
And oh oh oh, when will it end
Oh oh oh, who can I defend
If I leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
There's something right in front of us
A memory that must speak
All the ghosts of history
Raised in a week
And though the gates are open
Our leaders can't see
Stumbling and hiding
They can't get us free
And oh oh oh, it's a play without an end
Oh oh oh, there's nothing to defend
We gotta leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Thank you, thank you
I wrote that song three blocks from here
It did not travel far
Eh it did, to San Francisco and back, but
