Lyrics

[Verse 1]
two jumps in a week
i bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy
flying on your
motorcycle
watching all the ground beneath you
drop
[PreChorus]
you'd kill yourself for recognition
kill yourself to
never ever stop
you broke another mirror
you're turning into something you are not
[Chorus]
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
[Verse 2]
drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk
all your insides fall to pieces
you just sit there
wishing you could still make love
[PreChorus]
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you got the world all sussed out
they're the ones who'll spit at you
you will be the one
screaming
out
[Chorus]
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
[PreChorus]
it's the best thing that you ever had
the best thing that you ever ever had
it's the best thing that you ever had
the best thing you have had has gone away
[Chorus]
so don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
don't leave me high
don't leave me high
don't leave me dry
