Up on a hill is where we begin

This little story a long time ago

Start to pretend, stop pretending

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

Leavin' just in time

Stayed here for a while

Rollin' in the ocean

Trying to catch her eye

We're caught, and say it's easy

Do it just to please me

Tomorrow it is different

I'm leavin'

our fears are different here
We train in AVA
I wish you hadn't stayed
My vision's clearer now,
Gm6
but I'm unafraid
Eb
Flying overseas, no time to feel the breeze
I took too many varieties
Oh, in the sun sunhaving fun
It's in my blood
I just can't help it
Don't want you here right now

Let me go, woooooo, darling let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
