Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna be released from behind these lines

And I don't care whether I live or die

And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones

And I don't want your heart, it leaves me cold

[PreChorus]

I don't want your future

I don't need your past

One grand moment

Is all I ask

[Chorus]

I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

[Verse 2]

I don't need a husband, don't need no wife

And I don't need the day, I don't need the night

And I don't need the birds, let them fly away

And I don't want the clouds, they never seem to stay

[PreChorus]

I don't want no future (Want no future)

I don't need no past (Need no past)

One grand moment (One grand moment)

Is all I ask (Is all I ask)

I don't want your future (Want your future)

I don't need your past (Need your past)

One grand moment (One grand moment)

Is all I ask, and I-

[Chorus]

I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my, lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

[Bridge]

Pulling me down

(And it's pulling me down)

Pulling me down, oh

(And it's pulling me down)

Pulling me down

(And it's pulling me, pulling me down)

Pulling me, pulling me down

[Chorus]

I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

Yes, I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(Your history keeps pulling me down)

(Moving up to higher ground)

(Your history keeps pulling me, pulling me down)
