lyrics

Somewhere in the dark the phone rang
as I tried to go back to sleep again
you said honey it's time for you to go
and i said i know honey i know

I knew we'd cross that bridge when we got there
and the pain would be too much to bear
so i promised i'd never look back
because that just makes everything turn black

You said, let's run to the mountains
stay in bed a while
let's see what happens
and if i can make you smile
stay a while

So I packed my things quietly
so you wouldn't hear me leave
and all i left behind was a note
sorry, all i wrote

I heard you running to meet me
as that driver shut the taxi door
and I listed so intently
as I heard your voice once once more

CHORUS

Even though I knew I had to go
for if i stayed we'd never know
the ghosts that would haunt me i would find
were your words in the back of my mind

So I crossed that bridge when i got there
and only mountains i could see
so i beg you if you dare
come out of this valley with me

CHORUS
