Brother said he saw you flying on a paper plane

Right before you vanished in the clouds

It seems you finally made it past the things stuck in your way

Your mom and daddy must be pretty proud

I can't recall the last you called or tried to get in touch

But I suppose you don't have much spare time

Cause you're running races reading faces dreaming of wide open spaces

Up there on the continent divide

But sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love

The other day I stumbled on a pocket of our past

I couldn't help of think of what you said

If we were ever in a fight it didn't matter who was right

Just as long as we could settle it in bed

Well I wish that much was true these days now that we've gone our separate ways

It's hard to find my courage in a crowd

Cause people come and people go and frankly dear I hope you know

I'll be here if I ever settle down

But sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love someone

Sometimes leaving is the only way to love
