I'm leaving today, living it
Leaving it to change
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
Tongue-tied and twisted are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags, finally on the move
And I'm leaving today, I'm living it
Oh, I'm leaving it to change
As I'm driving, I'm captured by the view
So much beauty, the road becomes my muse
The heat is rising, and my hand surfs through the wind
Cool, calm, collected is the child that lies within
See, I'm leaving today, I'm living it
Oh, I'm leaving it to change, oh, yeah
See, I'm leaving today, oh, yes, I'm living it
Oh, I'm leaving it to change
But somehow I miss it
I think I'll really miss it
One day, oh
I turn up the radio
And I'm feeling like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of
Yester-years and broken dreams I bring
Finally free, ooh
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze, oh-oh
Ooh, yeah
I'm leaving today, oh, yes, I'm living it, oh yeah
Leaving it to change (to change, oh no)
See, I'm leaving today, oh, yes, I'm living it, living it
Leaving it (leaving) to change
Oh-oh-oh
I'm leaving today (oh, I'm living it)
I'm leaving it to change
Living it, to change
Leaving it to change
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah
Living it, leaving it
Said I'm living it, I'm leaving it
Living it, leaving it to change
I'm leaving it to change
But somehow I miss it
I think I'll really miss it
One day, yeah
