“I Wonder (Departure)”
Everything dear, will it be here
One day when I am returning?
My friends will get married, have children and homes
It sounds so nice, well-planned and wise
Never expecting surprises
I wonder, it’s frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don’t even try?
I’m not a coward
Oh no, I’ll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it, it can’t go wrong
My friends and my family, this dull little town
Buses I’ve missed, boys that I’ve kissed
Everything old and familiar
I wonder, it’s frightening
Leaving now, is that the right thing?
I wonder, it scares me
But who the the hell am I if I don’t even try?
I’m not a coward
Oh no, I’ll be strong
One chance in a lifetime
Yes I will take it…
Yes I will take it, it can’t go wrong
