Brother said he saw you flying on a paper plane
Right before you vanished in the clouds
It seems you finally made it past the things stuck in your way
Your mom and daddy must be pretty proud
I can't recall the last you called or tried to get in touch
But I suppose you don't have much spare time
Cause you're running races reading faces dreaming of wide open spaces
Up there on the continent divide
But sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love
The other day I stumbled on a pocket of our past
I couldn't help of think of what you said
If we were ever in a fight it didn't matter who was right
Just as long as we could settle it in bed
Well I wish that much was true these days now that we've gone our separate ways
It's hard to find my courage in a crowd
Cause people come and people go and frankly dear I hope you know
I'll be here if I ever settle down
But sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone
Sometimes leaving is the only way to love
