leaving as a meth -od of living

Hey, I don't like this thing called going away
I really don't think that it's okay
I've heard it called a kind of death
Though to some it is their meth -od of living
Drug and maybe habit
Something I have dabbled in
I must admit
Cuz leaving's something that's so easy to do
But consider the ramifications
It's not just a standard vacation

So today I want everywhere
To be right here
I don't want to go away
Or spy you far away
Through the haze
but be here, now
right here, now
next to me
in this place
dreaming and talking away

Today I want everyone
All my friends
To be right here with me
They can't sadly
But really I'm tired
of friendships failing
When we go
Far far away
Out into the haze
For far too many days

Maybe not to come back again.
I'm tired of that not coming back again.

So I declare
From now on
Everywhere is in the same place
So that when you leave
You won't be
Far away

I declare
From now on
Leaving is like staying back
Adventuring is now
In our frontyards
You won't be
Far away
