Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe, Music by Knibbe/Besse/Walsh

lyrics

With my hair undone and my too short dress
I am fraying at the edges, a disintegrating mess
As the scent of disinfectant from the airport restroom
Drifts to where stand

And with your bags packed up and your eyes downcast
My tongue is heavy with a question that I’m too afraid to ask
So I’ll keep tripping over sentences
And sipping from the coffee in my hand
Anything to draw attention from the fact
That I can’t watch you walk away again

And I get you’ve got to leave me
I’m not stupid, I’m not needy
Do you have to make it look so easy, look so easy?

With my throat closed tight and my eyes rimmed red
My mouth is full of cotton, the throbbing in my head
Is worsened by the stubborn squeak
Your suitcase wheel repeats with every step
The tell-tale harbingers of heartache as I watch you walk away again

And I get you’ve got to leave me
I’m not stupid, I’m not needy
Do you have to make it look so easy, look so easy?

Oh won’t you come kiss my lips and say we’ll be fine
Scan your folded ticket, and take your place in line
I’ll hold tight to your promises, I’ll wait on you to call me when you land
And three months down the road I’ll watch you walk my way again
Way deep down I know I’ll watch you walk my way again
