Catching butterflies, line drives, watching tv   I had seven good years ¡®til they noticed they were looking at me   I didn't like what they see      Trapped in the back seat, stay on your side   My hand out the window feeling the air rush by   While my parents fight      Where did you go? did I make you leave?    Another thing I didn't know   Nobody ever believes. they just leave, they just leave   And they'll see you on their own sweet time   They just leave      I didn't leave my room ¡®til I learned how to drive   I was sweet seventeen, fighting with the back of my mind   ¡®til the wheel was all mine      Free to go, but still to young to leave   Old enough to think I know   That nobody ever believes, they just leave, they just leave      My plane landed, I'm alive   I'm not fighting with the things   I never thought I'd do to survive   Now we've finally arrived      Now I know, more than I've ever believed   You could never let me know   You were just as young as me   You had to leave, you had to leave
