lyrics

Went east to the ocean I needed the edge / drove through the desert just to feel that open space oh I needed to feel this / saw a hawk in the park and a snake in the grass saw a spider in my dreams she was cautioning me oh I needed to feel this / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I’ve been living in fear / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I needed to feel this I needed to check that I existed here / Went to the country I just needed horizon I sang with the birds felt our song keep on rising oh I needed to feel this / I journeyed much deeper I was travelling through time I swam in the waters saw the owl on the island oh I needed to feel this / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I’ve been walking through fear / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I needed to feel this, I needed to check that I existed here / I climbed up the tower to be higher than people I felt so invincible yet felt really little oh I needed to feel this / saw the whale in the city and I lay underneath it I cried like a baby felt like something was finished oh I needed to feel this / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I’ve walked through fear / I don’t want to leave this place and I don’t want to fade away oh I needed to feel this, I needed to check that I existed here / Put my head on the earth as I stood in the flow I prayed to the spirit what I learnt from the buffalo I needed to feel this / I shouted out loud I was ready to explore I wrote till it hurt then made footprints in snow oh, I needed to feel this, I needed to check that I existed here. . .
