[opening guitar riff- instrumental]

Verse 1

I dreamt of leaving,

as thoughts crossed my mind.

I dreamt of receiving,

of new things I could find.

I pondered going,

to a much more simple life.

I pondered showing,

there’s more to this than strife.

Chorus

Sometimes….

what you leave behind,

stays forever….

in your mind.

The new place you are going to,

always finds……..

the same old you.

Sometimes….

what you leave behind,

stays forever….

in your mind.

The new place you are going to,

always finds……..

the same old you……………the same old you.

[Instrumental-extended guitar riff]

Verse 2

I mumbled new thoughts,

while ideas ow-pined.

I mumbled what I never caught,

my dreams could never find.

I lost myself,

searching for the best of more.

so take a close look at yourself,

It might help even your score.

Chorus

Sometimes….

what you leave behind,

stays forever….

in your mind.

The new place you are going to,

always finds……..

the same old you.

Sometimes….

what you leave behind,

stays forever….

in your mind.

The new place you are going to,

always finds……..

the same old you……………the same old you.

Outro

I dreamt…

of leaving,

as thoughts….

crossed my mind.

I dreamt….

of receiving,

of new things….

I could find.

What you leave,

stays with you will find…..

What you leave…….

stays with you will find…………
