[Verse 1]
Bloodshot eyes in the morning
Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
Plane touches down and I can see those street lights
The plane touches down and I know it's time to fly

[Chorus]
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind

[Verse 2]
Gets so cold here in the evenings
Wait 'til the dark, then I build my firelight
Feel such a fool to just keep waiting
Feel such a fool 'cause I know I still hope to find

[Chorus]
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leavе behind
One thing I can't leavе

[Refrain]
But I want you to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
You're not taking the easy way out
The easy way out
[Verse 3]
Star-crossed nights in the canyon
Everybody fighting just to hold their place in line
They come from all the farthest reaches
Everybody looking for something I hope they find

[Chorus]
One thing they can't leave behind
One thing they can't leave

[Verse 4]
Eyes fall open with the first light
Make my way down to the ocean burning blue
Each day I'm cast a little farther
Each day the current pulls me closer down to you

[Chorus]
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave behind
One thing I can't leave

[Refrain]
But I want you to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
Just remember to take your time and think it over
Stay a while until you're sure
You're not taking the easy way out
The easy way out
You're not taking the easy way out
I can show you the easy way down
[Outro]
Bloodshot eyes in the morning
Wake to the day with a memory in my mind
