Don't cry, try not to wait up for me tonight
I'm leaving for the future and it's bright
Being swept off my feet like a drifting kite

And I'm regretting all the choices that I make
But I know we can learn from our mistakes
With every single new step that we take

I don't repeat myself I'm not a parrot
You know how I feel and that's apparent
Our final move's to win or lose
And I can't make you choose, it's up to you

And I told you my roots will keep me honest
I'll be a good boy, that I promise
If I said that I won't leave then I'll stay true
And I told you, my roots will keep me honest
If there's a bus home I'll be on it
When I told you I'm not leaving you'll
Believe it when you see I'm back for you

Sit tight I'm up around the world to do my thing
And every word you say I'm listening
And when I wake up it will just be me

I might repeat myself am I a parrot
You know how I feel and that's apparent
Our final move's to win or lose
And I can't make you choose, it's up to you

And I told you my roots will keep me honest
I'll be a good boy, that I promise
If I said that I won't leave then I'll stay true
And I told you, my roots will keep me honest
If there's a bus home I'll be on it
When I told you I'm not leaving you'll
Believe it when you see I'm back for you
