What do you do, when you can’t find the words?
When they won’t come, to your tongue.
What do you say, when there ain’t nothing left to say?
How do you keep talking anyway?
I got to go, got to get out of this place, yeah darling.
I’ve just got to go, got to get off this trip, out of your grip, yeah.
I’d stay if I could, but you know it’s no good, no good.
I’d stay in your arms, but I’m already gone.
I got to go.
What do you do, when you can’t put just one foot,
in front of the other to get up and go? No!
How your lips say, it’s unconditional in every way.
While your conditions, have conditions.
I must say.
I got to go, got to get out of this place, yeah darling.
I’ve just got to go, got to get off this trip, out of your grip, yeah.
I’d stay if I could, but it’s no, no good.
I’d stay in your arms, but I’m already gone.
I, I got to go. I got to go. You know, I gotta go.
