I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said then I thought some more
You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown

Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognize the tone
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go
I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long

So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind

What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
There's too much going on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out

So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind

You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out

So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind

- "Leave It All Behind, Amy Grant"

I love this song and at this moment, I'd like to leave it all behind. I'd just like one day when my heart and my brain aren't playing tug-o-war. I'd like one day where the future isn't dictating my present. I'd like one day where I was the shoulder and not the crier. I'd just like one day of peace.
