Now that you're leaving
Telmavar Records // 2006
1. Slowing Down
Now that you're leaving
It's got me thinking
Maybe I'll do a little leaving too.
Baby believe me
If I could leave me
I wouldn't stay a single second too.
Everybody's slowing down
Everybody's slowing down but us
We're like the bubble before it hits the floor
Maybe we'll break,
but maybe we'll love each other even more.
But sooner or later
I'll come and waiter
You'll come buying and I'll start the lying all over again.
Sooner than later
I open my crater
You come a filling and I start the billing back to you again.
Everybody's slowing down
Everybody's slowing down but us
We're like the bubble before it hits the floor
Maybe we'll break,
but maybe we'll love each other even more.
2. This Cool
I don’t know what you want from me.
Still don’t you go, don’t go out on me.
All you gotta do, honey, is walk out that door,
just leave some money for my time.
All you gotta do is listen to this tune
and bleed yourself to sleep.
I never wanted it to be this way,
but you and me babe –
we got our own set of rules we play.
I never wanted it to be this mean,
but you and me babe – we got our own conscious to clean.
I never wanted it to be this cool.
3. Everybody
Everybody wants somebody
A little more than they should
Everybody’d take that body
If Everybody could
Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody hides
Everybody’d write these words
If Everybody’d write
Everybody needs somebody
To warm them up at night
I guess a blanket’s not enough
When turning off the light
Everybody hurts and cries
Everybody dies
Every love cuts deep and cold
And breaks you down inside
Everybody’s grass is greener
Everybody else’s wife is sweeter
Everybody wears their boots
Until the sole runs dull
And Everybody’s ears are itching
From waiting for the toll
Everybody says they’re sorry
And means it from the bone
Everybody never say it
Until they are alone
Everybody knows the score
Still want to see the game
Everybody clutch their lives like
Fifteen minute fame
Everybody says they’re sorry.
4. Wait For It
I’m watching you all the time, watching, looking up at you.
Moving too fast, I can’t keep up, I am falling out of reach from you.
Wait for it, hate for the first time, late – forward I go,
nowhere but forward left to go.
Wait for it, hate for the first time , late – forward I go,
nothing left for it – I’m leaving home.
Driving close to, I might hit you, walk beside me, you’ll be safe.
Do what you want, you believe in, too far gets you close sometimes.
Wait for it, hate for the first time, late – forward I go,
nowhere but forward left to go.
Wait for it, hate for the first time , late – forward I go,
nothing left for it – I’m leaving home.
Walking, crawling, rolling, longing, for two separate sets of legs.
Double ended heart-shaped rows – simultaneous flow.
Snakes and ladders, nothing matters but this-
this feeling, of not breathing, of not kneeling… don’t forget me too.
Wait for it, hate for the first time, late – forward I go,
nowhere but forward left to go.
Wait for it, hate for the first time , late – forward I go,
nothing left for it – I’m leaving home.
5. Baby If You Want Me
I know that you ain’t just mine, babe.
I know that you ain’t so good at tying, are you babe?
I know that you’re always on the run, babe.
I know that you ain’t just fun, that’s for sure, babe.
Still, baby if you want me, I am yours.
I know that you ain’t just mine, that’s ok babe.
I know that you ain’t so good at trying, are you babe?
I know that you ain’t so fond of roots, babe.
I know I’m a cello, you’re a flute, that’s right babe.
Baby if you want me, I am yours.
You’re the wind
I’m just grass
I just grow
You just pass
Baby if you want me, I am yours.
6. Long Way From Love
You don’t see me as well as you used to
And you don’t fear me leaving you
We came a long way from love
Now days when I kiss you , you don’t move your tongue
And now days when I miss you, it’s because you’re gone
We came a long way from love
Once I was black and you were white, now we’re both grey
Once we used to spend the nights, and save the days
We came a long way from love
I used to look into your eyes, and I used to see a map
I thought we’d finish this race together, or at least a lap
We came a long way from love
