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
