Left and Leaving Songtext

von Motion City Soundtrack

My city is still breathing but barely it's true,
Through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you
Sparkled with broken glass
I'm back with scars to show
Back with the streets I know
Will never me anywhere but here.

The stain in the carpet
This drink in my hand
The strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress rehearsal to say
I wanted it this way.
Wait for the year to drown
Spring forward,
Fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.

All this time
Lingers, undefined.
Someone choose
Who's left & who's leaving.

Memory will rest & erode into lists
Of all that you gave me.
Blankets some matches
This pain in my chest
The best parts of lonely
Ductape & soddered wires
New words for old desires,
& every birthday card I threw away.

I wait in 4/4 time
Count yellow highway lines
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
That you're relying on to lead you home.
