"Long Time Leaver" lyrics
(feat. Bea Porges)
Jenny's lookin' for you while you're painting the basement
I've been lying for you all year
Push across the fence maybe you'll land in the pavement
Bust your lip and swallow your tears
Long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Alone
Hollow as a knee deep hole in the ground (hole in the ground)
Heavy like a sure shot shooting me down (shooting me down)
I've been waiting for you just to come back down
Lost all touch by the end of the summer
Can we just call it a truce?
Pushing my luck till I feel you letting me in and cut me loose
Long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Oh, long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Oh, long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Why do you always have to go?
Why do you always have to go?
Alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Don't have to go
Go it alone
I've been lying for you all year
Push across the fence maybe you'll land in the pavement
Bust your lip and swallow your tears
Long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Alone
Hollow as a knee deep hole in the ground (hole in the ground)
Heavy like a sure shot shooting me down (shooting me down)
I've been waiting for you just to come back down
Lost all touch by the end of the summer
Can we just call it a truce?
Pushing my luck till I feel you letting me in and cut me loose
Long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Oh, long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Oh, long time leaver
Won't you stay through the winter
If you gotta go
You always have to go
Why do you always have to go?
Why do you always have to go?
Alone
Go it alone
Go it alone
Don't have to go
Go it alone
