Leave When You Go Lyrics by Donovan Woods & Ralph
Walking up four stories,
Ears ringing from the party,
You go in before me,
You wanna tidy up or something,
I’m standing in the hallway,
Flickering fluorescent lights making everybody feel ugly,
We’re fresh off the F train, I don’t know your last name
I wanna leave when you go,
You put your coat beside me,
You said you’ll come back and find me,
Touched your arm and said it slow, I
I wanna leave when you go,
Across this crowded city,
Turn your head and take me,
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go,
I wanna leave when you go
Then we cut to the quiet,
And it all felt decided,
Years from this night, I’ll
I’ll still wonder what I did,
I’m standing in the hallway,
You’re shuffling inside, I’m not really this guy,
I mean this isn’t the sort of thing I would ever do normally but
I wanna leave when you go,
You put your coat beside me,
You said you’ll come back and find me,
Touched your arm and said it slow, I
I wanna leave when you go,
Across this crowded city,
Turn your head and take me,
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go,
I wanna leave when you go
I can sleep at night,
Cause I’m way beyond it now,
I’m way beyond it now,
I’m way beyond it
You put your coat beside me,
You said you’ll come back and find me,
Touched your arm and said it slow,
I wanna leave when you go,
Across this crowded city,
Turn your head and take me,
With you out into the cold, I
I wanna leave when you go,
I wanna leave when you go,
I wanna leave when you go
