  • I'm ripping your posters off the wall
    I'm moving the boxes into the hall
    I stop when I hear a drumbeat call
    Must be a sign, it is time

    I need to take myself away
    From the pillowed hand on which I stand
    And throw me out of the side of a plane
    And I'll just see where I land

    I will have to pull my heart away
    'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday

    It's not like my feet are stuck to the floor
    It's not like I'm wanting to know about the door
    I want you to throw my shoes in the fire
    And I'll watch the souls burn on the funeral pyre

    And I'm over and it will change my position
    And I'll know that nobody, nobody's listening
    And that's easy for me and it's better for the soul
    And it's better for you and it's better for all

    I will have to pull my heart away
    'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
    I will have to pull my heart away
    'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday

    I'm over with words, I'm moving in lines
    And all that I put is jump up inside, jump off the side

    I will have to pull my heart away
    'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday
    I will have to pull my heart away
    'Cause if I never leave I'll ruin yesterday

    I will have to pull my heart away Writer/s: JACK PENATE, PAUL EPWORTH
