about

Recorded April 2014 in my basement. I did guitars, keyboard, and percussion was slamming against a wooden bar.

lyrics

You say now you're "headed South."
Well, I can't blame you for wanting to get out of your home town.
That was me years ago.
I packed my bags, I was always on the go.
I never wanted to be home.

You say "The city's not for me..."
You're getting tired of these streets,
or you're just running away from yourself.
Or me.

No matter where you go,
you can't make up for everything that you lack
and everything you couldn't give back.
I gave it all to you, but I can see now that we're though.
We are done.

Always saying "you're gonna leave,"
to get a reaction out of me.
Didn't give you the one you wanted. (Uh huh...)
When I told you "you should go,"
I'd be waiting by the phone.

But I know I was a liar...

And I know now what you need,
you need to live without me.
(I can't be) I can't give you that ambition,
you must find inside yourself,
while you put me though that hell.

I can't bask in your misery anymore.

Not gonna lie, I love this place.
And I won't miss seeing your face down these streets anymore.
You tell me now to "leave you alone,"
well, I won't write and I won't phone.
So, I hope you leave. (Well, ha ha ha)
It's sad to say,
but I hope you leave.
