The Leaving Lyrics

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much

Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of

Maybe it's believing that we long to lose

Maybe it's the leaving

We were younger than we thought we were when we grew up

Oh so eager to become our shadows in the sun

But then a bomb was dropped and we burned right into the sidewalk

Forever a shadow we stay

You will haunt me like a daydream in the middle of the night

I'll be hands on knees and head to the wall, I will live for life

Oh it feels so good when it breaks my heart

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much

Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of

Maybe it's believing that we long to lose

Maybe it's the leaving

Don't undress in front of me for I am a human being

I will sink my teeth and tear into your bones

And with red stained lips and fingerprints I will hold you up

Forever a song unsung

I remember the rides on the roads under stars when I was all alone

Like a lover remembers a love or a traveler remembers home

Oh it feels so good when it breaks your heart

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much

Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of

Maybe it's believing that we long to lose

Maybe it's the leaving

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much

Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of

Maybe it's believing that we long to lose

Maybe it's the leaving, it's the leaving, it's the leaving

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much

Though my dream is smoke and my past premonition

I've got rain in my wine, I lay still, my last words were my first
