"How Leaving Feels" lyrics

Well I packed my bags and I drove around
I cursed this car and I cursed this town
The engine drags and the road just winds
And it isn't exactly what I had in mind

I wanna feel my heart race inside my chest
Feel it break a little too I guess
With the big world spinning beneath my wheels
I just wanna know how leaving feels

You've been watching that TV 'til you're blind
To the movie I've been playing here in my mind
It ain't pretty
Picture all of our anger, all of our tears
Frozen in place for 55 years
Made me wanna scream, and get the hell out of here

I wanna feel my heart beat inside my chest
And break yours a little bit too I guess
Hear the gravel fly and the tires squeal
I just wanna know how leaving feels

No matter how I try I can't say goodbye
Maybe just one night, just one night

Gonna find me a tavern on a dark two lane
Where nobody cares or knows my name
That's right
Gonna wear high heels and laugh too loud
Gonna make you jealous, make you proud

See baby I've been loving you for so long
You should know by now, I'd never do you wrong
It's a desperate measure when a poor man steals
I just wanna know how leaving feels

Maybe just one night
I just wanna know
How leaving feels
How leaving feels
