If you walk away, I'll walk away
First tell me which road you will take
I don't want to risk our paths crossing one day
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

And the future hangs over our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until it falls around like a cold, steady rain
Just stay in when it's looking this way

And the moon's laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds,
Like a jewelry store case
They argue walk this way, now walk this way

And Laura's asleep in my bed
As i'm leaving she wakes up and says,
"I dreamed you were carried away,
On the crest of a wave. Baby, don't go away.
Come here."

And this kid's playing guns in the street
And one's pointing his tree branch at me
So I put my hands up, I say 'Enough is enough.
If you walk away, I'll walk away."

And he shot me dead

I found a liquid cure
For my land -locked blues
It will pass away, like a slow parade
It's leaving, but i don't know how soon

And the world stopped me dizzy again
You'd think after 22 years i'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when i stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around,
Or walking away

And I'm drinking the ink from my pen
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
And it all boils down th one quotable phrase
'If you love something, give it away."

A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for a possible heart
And you may be offended, you may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk away
