Lyrics

[Verse 1]

two jumps in a week

i bet you think that's pretty clever, don't you, boy

flying on your

motorcycle

watching all the ground beneath you

drop

[PreChorus]

you'd kill yourself for recognition

kill yourself to

never ever stop

you broke another mirror

you're turning into something you are not

[Chorus]

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

[Verse 2]

drying up in conversation

you will be the one who cannot talk

all your insides fall to pieces

you just sit there

wishing you could still make love

[PreChorus]

they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you got the world all sussed out

they're the ones who'll spit at you

you will be the one

screaming

out

[Chorus]

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

[PreChorus]

it's the best thing that you ever had

the best thing that you ever ever had

it's the best thing that you ever had

the best thing you have had has gone away

[Chorus]

so don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry

don't leave me high

don't leave me high

don't leave me dry
