If I Don't Leave Here Now - Indigo Girls

They say if it ever was it’s in there still

You can dig and fill and never will be full

Trying to get that good again

Your last fifth of jack or cigarette

The time you be the farm before you lost it all

You want that feeling

Back you go against the wind and good advice

Killing yourself to stop from running out of life

But if I don’t leave here now

I will never get out of this place

Baby believe me now

There’s no dragon to chase

Even looking at your face

In front of me

If there ever was one there could be two

You and you and you a blue sky could be bluer

A whiter shade of white

But while you pour it on you pour it out

You empty everything you might have saved instead

For your loneliest night

Back you go against the wind and good advice

Killing yourself to stop from running out of life

But if I don’t leave here now

I will never get out of this place

Baby believe me now

There’s no dragon to chase

Even looking at your face

In front of me

And when it hits the papers

The tongues start wagging like it can’t be happening

The doctors giveth and they taketh away

And when they do you’ll find you stand up everyman

Goes looking for his heroin

It happens every day

Around every bend

Again and again

But if I don’t leave here now

I will never get out of this place

Baby believe me now

There’s no dragon to chase

Even looking at your face

In front of me
