Now, here it comes if you like it or not   It's about an arm's length reach   Who would have ever thought      Just let me know if you're ready to stop   You'd be the perfect catch   For a small town cop but he's coming up      Got a place in the sky   To keep us grounded   Not a cloud that's in sight   We don't talk about it      Tell me, why would you walk away?   When you know we've got everything you need   Now, you're throwing it all away      God, I hate to be such a major disappointment   How did we survive?   When you build a wall around yourself   You get used to the insides      If you ask me to describe   I couldn't find the words to say   I could hide out for a while   But I know I could never stay      Got a place in the sky   To keep us grounded   Not a cloud that's in sight   We don't talk about it      Tell me why did you walk away?   When you know we've got everything that you need   Now, you're throwing it all away      Now, I start to think   Well, don't knock till you've tried it   But I swear it isn't like that   Yeah, I swear it isn't like that      Tell me, what you thought now   Because your first time could be your last time   And I can't say you won't regret it   But I can't say you will      Tell me why did you walk away?   Tell me why did you walk away?   When you know we've got everything you need   Now, you're throwing it all away
