Lyrics
People Movin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People movin' in
People movin' out
I do my best to keep a space for you.
But the bed and the body
And the brain they still lay bare
And I can pretend
Like this is just a test for you,
But I can't tell who's really there
I only ever see
People movin' in
People movin' out
So take the best and make it good for you.
To forget and to beg and to bury is only fair.
Oh, nothing ever matters till you turn it around,
And, nothing's ever real until you left it behind
But sure, what did I do?
Sure, what did I do?
Everybody's leaving
Everybody leaves
Everybody's leaving
Everybody leaves
People movin' in
People movin' out
