Leaving

from Demo 2012 by CITY LIMITS

lyrics

Won’t let myself get comfortable with going nowhere.
That noise keeps getting louder.
I don’t want to lose the waiting game one more time.
I don’t know where we’re going.

I drove by my old house today,
the chairs are there with different names,
carved initials in the rotten fencing.

All that’s left are shadows in the blinds,
a broken pipe, a dream at night,
an inside joke, a slice of life.

Too old for 3 a.m. drives home.
Too young to sing about being alone.
Too late to sing along with all my favorite songs about moving on.

I know where the sidewalk ends.
Cold pavement without a friend.
Stay gold for me.
Don’t wait up for me.
Kiss the kids for me.
There’s nothing left for me
so just say your last goodbyes,
cause I’m never coming home.

I’ve got the answers in my head.
I keep trying to let go.
I know Division Street will be the death of me,
but it might be the start of something.

There’s so much left to learn.
But leaving is all I know.
Just like Division Street may be the death of me,
I know it might be the start of something beautiful.

This city brought out the best of me.
