Lyrics
[Intro]
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage that you can bring
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
[Verse 1]
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second, you turn back
Oh, no, be strong
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
[Verse 2]
You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
You stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
How your heart, it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Walk on
[Bridge]
Home
Hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home
I can't say where it is but I know I'm going
Home
That's where the heart is
[Chorus]
And I know it aches
And your heart, it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on
Hoo
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
[Outro]
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this, you can leave behind
[Outro]
All that you reason (All that you care)
It's only time
And I'll never fill up all my mind
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you've seen
All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate
