And I didn't know where I was standing,
And I didn't know what I was taking,
A hundred years holding to these hopes of mine.

And the wind will blow if not I'll make him,
Oh I swear to God, I swear I'll make him,
A million years, holding to these hopes of mine.

[Chorus]
I know I don't have to do this
I promise I'll be waiting,
Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.

And the world won't stop and I can't bare it.
Oh you have to admit it's suffocating.
A hundred years holding to these hopes of mine.

The sun will shine and I will hate it.
And I also loathe it when it's raining.
A million years holding to these hopes of mine.

[Chorus]
I know I don't have to do this
I promise I'll be waiting,
Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.

(Oooooooooh)x2

And I didn't know where I was standing,
And I didn't know what I was taking,
A hundred years holding to these hopes of mine.

[Chorus]
I know I don't have to do this
I promise I'll be waiting,
Leave it all behind.
Hey you, don't you leave me hanging.
I need someone to help me leave it all behind.

(Oooooooooh)

<i>I know I don't have to do this;
Promise you'll be waiting;
Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this.
I know this world is waiting;
Can't you see I'm aching?
Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this;
Promise you'll be waiting;
Promise that you'll help me leave it all behind...</i>
