Thought I Could - Yorke

To tell you I’m leaving this town

I’ve always felt so out of place

And you thought I’d always be around

But nothing has to change

'Cause no-one is to blame

Always wanted to leave this place

But I never really thought I would

Always dreaming of wider spaces

I never really thought I should

But you’re holding on to me

Begging me not to leave

But my mind’s already far away

Always wanted to leave this place

But I never really thought I would

And I never really thought I could

I’ve got my suitcase packed

And I’ve tied up my loose ends

The air is filled with consequence

Unsaid words and old regrets

But nothing has to change

'Cause no-one is to blame

Always wanted to leave this place

But I never really thought I would

Always dreaming of wider spaces

I never really thought I should

But you’re holding on to me

Begging me not to leave

But my mind’s already far away

Always wanted to leave this place

But I never really thought I would

And I never really thought I could

Never really, never really, never really

And I never really thought I could

I’m driving down this one-way street

I’m so choked up, can barely breathe

You whisper things that you don’t mean

In the hope that I never leave

Without you

But I’m not yours to keep

I hope you forgive me

'Cause nothing has to change

Never really, never really, never really

'Cause no-one is to blame

But you’re holding on to me

Begging me not to leave

But my mind’s already far away

Always wanted to leave this place

But I never really thought I would

And I never even thought I could
