Lyrics
backing down from coming through
you never really wanted to
your taking part was overtime
me & you some odd side-line
we never could have grown together
we were too well known
back in town and seeing you
i realize there's nothing new
leaving here was justified
divided we have multiplied
we never could have grown together
we were too well known
to shackle me would not subdue
the wanderlust from busting through
so forget these games that you devised
the 'keep me tied here' exercise
we never could have grown together
we were too well known
pass me up sweet memory
and be a faded dream
(together) we could never fly
we'd turn to stone
and fall to pieces far from home
it's not my place, i stand alone
much too familiar
together we were too well known
packing up i leave accused
of only keeping you amused
but to stay with you would be futile
so i'm out of here in single file
we never could have grown together
we were too well known
