Lyrics

Verse 1:
I would rather be anywhere else than here
Where every second is spent seeing clearly behind me
I wished so many times that I didn?t survive
But everything I do or I?ve done has somehow kept me alive

Chorus:
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave you behind

Verse 2:
I?ve been feeling worthless since I left California
I?ve been stumbling around looking to find the feelings I left behind there
Shit faced and broken and fucked up and open again and again this time
It?s not the state so much but the state of mind which I find myself in

Chorus:
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave you behind

Bridge:
We may feel so bitter about our unused potential
But you wouldn?t believe the load I?ve had to swallow just to prove my credentials
And can you blame me for losing myself in some sweet arms and some deep veins
And easing my body into that old, familiar pain

Chorus:
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave you behind

When do I get to leave
When do I get to leave here
When do I get to leave you behind
