Lyrics
We?ve Got To Stop Leaving Like This
Verse 1
Friday nights spent at hometown football games
Holding each other and saying those things
Then high school was over and we were both college bound
But to two different places we were coming unwound
Seeing each other every once in a while
Then saying good-bye like it was going out of style
Chorus
We?ve got to stop leaving like this packing it up in a worn out book bag
We?ve got to stop leaving like this before someone gets lost
And can?t find their way back
Verse 2
Now we both have good jobs but business is business
Flying out every week with a kiss
And watching you cry as we sit at the gate
And there?s nothing to do but just sit and wait
And as we listen and hear flight 112 is now boarding
I take one last look at what I?ll miss in the morning
Chorus
We?ve got to stop leaving like this packing it up in a carry-on bag
We?ve got to stop leaving like this before someone gets lost
And can?t find their way back
Bridge
Now mornings we make lunch just to break all the silence
Then it?s off to work without any violence
Chorus
We?ve got to stop leaving like this packing it up in a brown paper bag
We?ve got to stop leaving like this before someone gets lost
And can?t find their way back
Before someone changes their mind
And don?t ever come back
