The One Who Gets Left Behind Lyrics

You've lived among the spires and washed upon the shore

But you rest upon the sand

When the ones you love are distant worlds apart

You've begun to understand

You feel you're drifting away

But you know it's what you need

Left behind

Left behind

To the western sea you fight against the waves

Their greedy hands a bitter hue

What's left a whispered sense of joy that you won't lose

A gust of hope blowing in the wind

You feel you're drifting away

But you know it's what you need

Close your eyes then open them slowly

Say goodbye, I'll see you in the oak tree

Close your eyes then open them slowly

Say goodbye, we'll drink to all the better times

Sometimes the pieces don't align

I know you'll miss us all

To your fate you are resigned

The one who gets left behind

You feel you're drifting away

But you know it's what you need

Close your eyes then open them slowly

Say goodbye, I'll see you in the oak tree

Close your eyes then open them slowly

Say goodbye, I'll see you in the oak tree

Close your eyes, we'll drink to all the better times

Sometimes the pieces don't align

I know you'll miss us all
