Chase Heaslip - Never Leave

Flyin' down a highway, headed south for something new
I know I got it my way, but I can't help feeling blue
All of the late night brake lights and places I grew up
It wasn't much, but it was always just enough
I knew that it would hit me, but I wasn't sure quite when
It's funny how the hindsight seems to have a clearer lens
To look back and see you be who you always thought you were
It's funny how all that time can pass in such a blur
'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself
Had the straight-A last day of second grade
And the trophies on his shelf
He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and
Always gave 'em hell
In a town where he had everything he'd need
I bet he never thought he'd leave
Now everything is changing, and I'm not quite keeping up
I try to give my all, but that seems to never be enough
Yeah, I used to know how things go and always had a plan
I'm not really sure how everything got out of hand
'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself
Had the straight-A last day of second grade
And the trophies on his shelf
He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and
Always gave 'em hell
In a town where he had everything he'd need
I bet he never thought he'd leave
This place that he had all figured out
He never thought it'd go this way
But I guess his time is now
Oh, to try, and to fall
And get up, and get all
He's ever thought up in that crazy mind
And now's the time
'Cause I once knew a little boy who had the whole world to himself
Had the straight-A last day of second grade
And the trophies on his shelf
He was prom king, left wing, played that six-string, and
Always gave 'em hell
In a town where he had everything he'd need
Oh, it's time that he got up and finally leaves
And goes and gets those dreams
Goes and gets those dreams
