Lyrics
0:40Up on a hill is where we begin
0:43This little story a long time ago
0:53Stop to pretend stop pretending
0:56It seems this game is simply never-ending
1:05Oh in the sun sun having fun
1:08It's in my blood
1:09I just can't help it
1:10Don't want you here right now
1:12Let me go oh let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
1:21Leavin' just in time
1:25Stay there for a while
1:28Rolling in the ocean
1:31Trying to catch her eye
1:34Work hard and say it's easy
1:38Do it just to please me
1:41Tomorrow will be different
1:44So I'll pretend I'm leaving
2:14Our fears are different here
2:16We train in A-V-A
2:18I wish you hadn't stayed
2:19My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid
2:28Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze
2:31I took too many varieties
2:40Oh in the sun sun having fun
2:43It's in my blood
2:45I just can't help it
2:46Don't want you here right now
2:47Let me go
2:51Darling let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
2:57Leaving just in time
3:00Staying for a while
3:03Rolling in the ocean
3:07Trying to catch her eye
3:10Work hard and say it's easy
3:13Do it just to please me
3:16Tomorrow will be different
3:20So this is why I'm leaving
Up on a hill is where we begin This little story a long time ago Stop to pretend stop pretending It seems this game is simply never-ending Oh in the sun sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you here right now Let me go oh let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leavin' just in time Stay there for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So I'll pretend I'm leaving Our fears are different here We train in A-V-A I wish you hadn't stayed My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Oh in the sun sun having fun It's in my blood I just can't help it Don't want you here right now Let me go Darling let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go Leaving just in time Staying for a while Rolling in the ocean Trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy Do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different So this is why I'm leaving
