LYRICS:
In case you haven't noticed I've grown
Ripping up my roots for fields unknown
My ear to the sky, I wave my goodbyes
These bridges were meant to burned
And I'll pack up my things
Hand me a shovel for all the memories
Knickknacks and unanswered questions--
What I thought had given me life
Is suffocating me
Letting go of what I had perceived
To be necessary, would you believe?

Don't look back
When I leave home.

Have some champagne for passing away
Death of my childhood, moving day
I've moved up in the world
Or so they have told me
But upward looks a lot like drowning
Under all my questions, expectations
Bewilderment, judgment
And haven't I told you
My worth doesn't rely on the weight of all these boxes

And I'm watering down my blood
To see who I never was.

Don't look back
When I leave home.

I may not have the world, but I hold my own
Sticking four walls into the earth doesn't make it home
Can't turn back now when my eyes lust after the sun
I appear too bright, and you ask me, what have I become?
And, what have I done?

When I leave home.
