Lyrics

You walk slowly, but every step gets further away.
You speak softly but heavy are the words that you say.
And you?re leaving behind things you said you would need.
I?m tending to wounds while you?re letting them bleed.
There must be a greater hunger to feed.

So look to the mountains. Find deeper oceans.
Change your horizons. Whatever your notion.
You call it freedom. You call it whatever you may.
I call it walking away.

So start your running. This heart can only hinder your dreams.
The time is coming and I won?t be one to stand in between.
You?re taking your chances and playing with Fate.
You?re breaking down walls only you would create.
You might find your answer a little too late.

So look to the mountains. Find deeper oceans.
Change your horizons. Whatever your notion.
You call it freedom. You call it whatever you may.
I call it walking away.

We all find ourselves from time to time
with nowhere to run to and nowhere to climb.
But love?s not measured in losses and wins.
It?s not what you take out, but what you put in.

So walk slowly, for I may never see you again.
Go on and show me, I?m only here for you to offend.
This world?s big enough to get lost in the crowd.
You?ll make your last stand when you take your last bow.
But don?t settle for less than the price of being proud.

Just look to the mountains. Find deeper oceans.
Change your horizons. Whatever your notion.
You call it freedom. You call it whatever you may.
I call it walking away.
