Leaving Town

In and out of my life
You come and go like twilight
Dizzy in your friendship
Cigarettes and lipstick

And the world would swim around us and
We would slow the hours down
Then pretty as a picture you’d be, leaving town

Leaving town Leaving town

If you and I we learn to fly
You and I take turns to cry
Now lay me down
If you and I we live to play
You and I took turns to stray
Now lay me down

In and out of my house
Biting down my fingernails
We were like sisters
Petticoats and blisters

And the day would swallow time for us
We’d be in a timeless love
But I could never hold you down
Leaving town

If you and I we learn to fly
You and I take turns to cry
Now lay me down
If you and I we live to play
You and I took turns to stray
Now lay me down

In and out of feeling
Miss you when you’re leaving
You’re still a vice on my heart
Sugar dusted tart

And the day would swallow time for us
We’d be in a timeless love
But I could never hold you down
Leaving Town

If you and I we learn to fly
You and I take turns to cry
Now lay me down
If you and I we live to play
You and I took turns to stray
Now lay me down
If you and I we learn to fly
You and I take turns to cry
Now lay me down
If you and I we live to play
You and I took turns to stray
Now lay me down

You’re still a vice on my heart

Now lay me down
In an out of my life
Biting down my fingernails
