Leaving London

Now there’s rust on the razor
I’ve done my time, I’ve paid my debt
Maybe I’m leaving to remember
Maybe I’m leaving to forget
Somehow I got lost in the traffic
Bogged down in someone else’s war
Somehow this place just lost its magic
I don’t believe it anymore
Well I’m leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
I thought my luck would last forever
How could that star ever burn out?
So many things I took for granted
I got to learn to live without
I did my best, I fought the good fight
There’s some battles that you can’t win
Here in the shadow of the streetlight
Feel like my skin is getting thin
Well I’m leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
Future’s not the way I planned it
Present’s not the way it seems
You can spend a lifetime waiting
Playing catch-up with your dreams
All those days piled up behind me
One day I stopped counting the years
By the time the morning finds me
I’ll be a world away from here
Well I’m leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
I’m leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
‘Cause I know I gotta go
I can’t stay here so I’m…
Leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
I’m leaving London with a pounding in my chest
You don’t know you got wings till you put ‘em to the test
I’m leaving London
I can’t go back
