Lyrics

The first night I left home had to keep on running around
Couldn’t let nothing slow me down
To keep from leaving
The first night I left home I dove deep into the drink
We stayed up talking in the heat
The heat that found its way into my dreams

We were hanging around the corner
And your hair was short
And you were 24
You were saying that you didn’t know if it was worth it anymore

The second time I left I kissed you goodbye in the street
We had no where we were supposed to be
Except apart
The night before I’d tried
Inches from saying goodbye
Until I got sick with you beside me

And we slept spread out and build a wall of pillows to protect us from the heat
And the song ghosts was playing in my head as I woke up in dreams of leaving
To the smell of coffee

The final time I left no fanfare played me out
Weary and seeped in doubt
Memory forming clouds
