If I leave this place I won't be able to write again
some things won't ever come out of my head
and some people won't ever know what I was thinking.

If I leave this place my job won't be done like I wanted to
one girl won't be able to express herself and one boy won't learn how to hold the pencil the right way
... some might miss me, and some might just move on

If I leave this place my family would be angry, sad
I won't see them again the way I see them now
and I'll never say what they really meant for me

If I leave this place tomorrow my goals will become just ideas
of how my life was supposed to be
and some roads I was meant to cross will stay empty
If I go I will be betraying myself

There're some that will miss me
friends, ex-boyfriends, just people
'cause If I leave this place they won't see me again
don't know really who or how, but they'll never know
that I always loved them
I always loved them

If I leave this place I'll never see you again
and you'll never see me, or hear me
but would you know how I really felt?
would I know how you ever felt?

If I leave this place tomorrow I would be leaving myself behind
destroying my body and losing my soul
'cause letting myself go would be turning my face to an empty space
that's not ready for me... and me, I'm not ready for it

'Cause if I leave this place tomorrow I'll cry
and I'll wish I didn't leave
and I'll wish I could come back

Lyrics by Cat Power

There’s a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
I Dream that I see, don’t kill it, it’s free

You’re just a man, you get what you can
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

Listen to me, don’t walk that street
There’s always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We’re just living people

We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

You’ve got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

But with your mind
