R.E.M. — Leave Remastered

[Verse 1] Nothing could bring me closer Nothing could bring me near Where is the road I follow To leave it? Leave It's under, under, under my feet The sea spread out there before me Where do I go when the land touches sea? There is my trust in what I believe [Chorus] That’s what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave it, leave it Leave it all behind [Verse 2] Shifting the dream Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time Shifting the dream, it’s charging the scene I know where I marked the signs I suffer the dreams of a world gone mad I like it like that, and I know it I know it well, ugly and sweet I temper madness with an even extreme That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down I say that I'm a bantam lightweight I say that I'm a phantom airplane that never left the ground [Chorus] That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That’s what keeps me down To leave, leave it Leave it all behind [Verse 3] Lift me, lift me I attain my dream I lost myself, I lost the Heartache calling me I lost myself in sorrow I lost myself in pain I lost myself in gravity Memory, leave, leave, leave [Chorus] That’s what keeps me That's what keeps me That’s what keeps me down To leave it, leave it Leave it all behind That's what keeps me That's what keeps me That's what keeps me down To leave it, leave it Leave it all behind [Verse 4] My hands, my eyes are still I’ll walk into the sea Shoot myself in a different place and leave it I've longed for this to take me I've longed for my release I've waited for the calling To leave, leave [Outro] Leave, leave Leaving Leaving, leaving
