If I Leave Lyrics

I really hope I didn't wake you up

At all

I hope you have the sweetest of dreams

Don't feel obligated to call me back anytime soon, man

Uh, it's just

Been a while

If I leave you now

Would you say I got lost along the way

Would you know what you meant to me

Even though I couldn't stay

If I leave you now

Would you love what I have left

Or would you love the ones who knew me

'Cause they knew me at my best

If I leave you

I'm staring at the cards on the off days

If God talks it's flip sides and wrong ways

I got caught in a quickly filling basin

Told myself when I'm face down

Maybe thеn I'll know patience, look

I nevеr lived to not croak

That's dangerous

I lived for knotted stomachs

And hearing 'bout how your day went

Lived for hottest summers with no phones

Sneaking out with your folks home

And silently speaking the same language, but

Would you wonder if I ran away

Ran away

If I leave you now

Would you say I got lost along the way

Would you know what you meant to me

Even though I couldn't stay

If I leave you now

Would you love what I have left

Or would you love the ones who knew me

'Cause they knew me at my best

If I leave you

I had a dream that I was only music

I met my death

They heads just kept on bopping to it

Sales soaring

Everyone got they pockets boosted

In times of trouble the vultures call themselves opportunists

Damn

Fiery message melts to shy ember

I get to heavens gates they ask if I'm a Prime member

Like fuck that shit

You know what I did

You know what I gave

They say "you performed"

It jolts me awake

Wait

Was that the gist of it

Performative censorship

Pick preferred lenses and sulk if you don't connect with this

Slake

Pick the phone up

Call you mother and listen

Tell your father you miss him

Best acknowledge the distance, look

I don't really wanna

If I leave you now

Would you say I got lost along the way

Would you know what you meant to me

Even though I couldn't stay

If I leave you now

Would you love what I have left

Or would you love the ones who knew me

'Cause they knew me at my best

If I leave you
