"Leave When You Go" lyrics

Donovan Woods & Ralph Lyrics

"Leave When You Go"

Walking up four stories
Ears ringing from the party
You go in before me
You wanna tidy up or something
I'm standing in the hallway
Flickering fluorescent lights making everybody feel ugly
We're fresh off the F train, I don't know your last name

I wanna leave when you go
You put your coat beside me
You said you'll come back and find me
Touched your arm and said it slow, I
I wanna leave when you go
Across this crowded city
Turn your head and take me
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go
I wanna leave when you go

Then we cut to the quiet
And it all felt decided
Years from this night, I'll
I'll still wonder what I did
I'm standing in the hallway
You're shuffling inside, I'm not really this guy
I mean this isn't the sort of thing I would ever do normally but

I wanna leave when you go
You put your coat beside me
You said you'll come back and find me
Touched your arm and said it slow, I
I wanna leave when you go
Across this crowded city
Turn your head and take me
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go
I wanna leave when you go

I can sleep at night
Cause I'm way beyond it now
I'm way beyond it now
I'm way beyond it

You put your coat beside me
You said you'll come back and find me
Touched your arm and said it slow
I wanna leave when you go
Across this crowded city
Turn your head and take me
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go
I wanna leave when you go
I wanna leave when you go
