If You Leave
Train · Train
Sweet dreams from Texaco, and I know your mind is on
its way to Mexico, sweet Jesus is on his way to take
you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like and you fill your head
with what you might want yourself to be when you're ready
But if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier to break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier for you to break down
My new dress is your new way out, my new way is your new
dress, and you look fine
But your new belief is my regret and my regret
leaves you to believe that we have found the line
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Think back and you can feel me
Well you won't feel me
You can't feel me if you leave
And if you leave
You won't feel me
its way to Mexico, sweet Jesus is on his way to take
you on his way down
You get your fill of what you like and you fill your head
with what you might want yourself to be when you're ready
But if you leave
It's gonna get a little easier to break down
And if you leave
It's gonna get a little bit easier for you to break down
My new dress is your new way out, my new way is your new
dress, and you look fine
But your new belief is my regret and my regret
leaves you to believe that we have found the line
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
And if you leave
Take me along, anywhere is ok
Think back and you can feel me movin through you
It's easy when you try
Think back and you can feel me
Well you won't feel me
You can't feel me if you leave
And if you leave
You won't feel me
If You Leave
Released by Train on their self-titled 2001 album, 'If You Leave' stands as a defining track of the band's early sound, blending Southern rock with pop sensibilities. The song features the group's signature harmonies and a driving rhythm that became a staple of their live performances. It captures the emotional weight of departure and the uncertainty of moving on, themes that resonate through the track's melodic structure. As part of Train's debut catalog, the recording helped establish their identity in the alternative rock landscape of the early 2000s, showcasing their ability to craft anthemic songs that balance acoustic intimacy with stadium-ready power.
