The Way They Leave

from Drop the Air by If Only the Trees

/

lyrics

It’s clear waking up the morning after
I can tell the stars there’s no one there
I’m strong, I don’t need a hug and roll over
Leave that to the high school syrup chuggers
And their fancy cigars

I use both hands, I scratch loops when I wait
I send spite to those who stay in their place
A cautious Huey, I get carried away
Spinning some winner’s circle, some new way

And this how we bide our time now
Judging from the floor
We can leave our norms alone now
Darling, we’re almost home

I stand in corners, I watch people read
Wonder how to come in the way they leave
This world is a world of tangible things
And it changes quickly without thinking

And this how we bide our time now
Judging from the floor
We can leave our norms alone now
Darling, we’re almost home

I’m safe, I swear
No matter how much you care
There’s nothing more unique
Than a repeat gone wrong

I’m safe, I swear
No matter how much you care
There’s nothing more unique
Than a repeat gone wrong

I’m safe, I swear
No matter how much you care
There’s nothing more unique
Than a repeat gone wrong

I’m safe, I swear
No matter how much you care
There’s nothing more unique
Than a repeat gone wrong
