You Were Leaving

We were trying to make a way downtown

Waiting for the train without being found

We climbed our way back above the ground

Snow slowly danced without a sound

And the coffee it was cold

And you made the waitress laugh

With one of your long jokes

Yeah, she probably just felt bad

And I noticed that your shirt

And the curtains were a match

And you stood there for a second

And I wanted it to last

You were holding on forever

I was busy making plans

Trying to get my shit together

You were trying to lend a hand

We just talked about the weather

And I didn't understand you were leaving

It was early the next morning

I called to apologize

And your voice it wasn't shaking

And that took me by surprise

Now I see it in your smile

Standing in the beam of light

You were singing every word

And you never shut your eyes

And you were holding on forever

I was busy making plans

Trying to get my shit together

You were trying to lend a hand

We just talked about the weather

And I didn't understand you were leaving

And the coffee it was cold

And you made the waitress laugh

With one of your long jokes

Yeah, she probably just felt bad

And I noticed that your shirt

And the curtains were a match

And you stood there for a second

And I wanted it to last

You were holding on forever

I was busy making plans

Trying to get my shit together

You were trying to lend a hand

We just talked about the weather

And I didn't understand you were leaving

You were leaving

You were leaving (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, you were leaving

You were leaving
