Lyrics
Lovers Leave
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.
Quick drying promises could get anyone into trouble
After a handful of no's you're practically inconsolable
Waiting for you at home is a smile that says at least you tried
But it's falling on deaf eyes because you're dying inside
Green tea at high noon with his new venezuelan girlfriend
In a fancy paris loft with expansive art instalments
And that stupid dumb-walter that he never seems to use
It's there to raise eyebrows and possibly amuse
They're a past tense couple
Presently separated
A future meeting couldn't fix all this
So they swing in new circles
Some good and some bad
Lovers walk and lovers leave
Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee
Staring into space and the bed is breathing rhythmically
Along with the rest of the bed ridden infantry
The photos on the wall look on in disappoiment
So you turn your back like you've been doing for a while
While assessing his expansive business portfolio
His mind casts back to that girl from long ago
A smile plays on his lips as he remembers her barely
As the girl who was desperate to get hitched way too early.
They're a past tense couple
Presently separated
A future meeting couldn't fix all this
So they swing in new circles
Some good and some bad
Lovers walk and lovers leave
Alone at the shopfront, table and coffee
Lovers walk and lovers leave
And it's all so very acrimonious
