"You Were Leaving" lyrics

We were trying to make a way downtown
Waiting for the train without being found
We climbed our way back above the ground
Snow slowly danced without a sound
And the coffee it was cold
And you made the waitress laugh
With one of your long jokes
Yeah, she probably just felt bad
And I noticed that your shirt
And the curtains were a match
And you stood there for a second
And I wanted it to last

You were holding on forever
I was busy making plans
Trying to get my shit together
You were trying to lend a hand
We just talked about the weather
And I didn't understand
You were leaving

It was early the next morn'
I called to apologize
And your voice it wasn't shaking
And that took me by surprise
Now I see it in your smile
Standing in the beam of light
You were singing every word
And you never shut your eyes
You were holding on forever
I was busy making plans
Trying to get my shit together
You were trying to live in the end
We just talked about the weather
And I didn't understand
You were leaving

And the coffee it was cold
And you made the waitress laugh
With one of your long jokes
Yeah she probably just felt bad
And I noticed that your shirt
And the curtains were a match
And you stood there for a second
And I wanted it to last
You were holding on forever
I was busy making plans
Trying to get my shit together
You were trying to live in the end
We just talked about the weather
And I didn't understand
You were leaving
You were leaving
You were leaving
Yeah, you were leaving
You were leaving
