The Sound of Leaving

I’m awake and you’re asleep Brick house is breathing, breathing Lying in the castle deep Sink down, I’m dreaming, dreaming Skin cold against the sheets Deep south is freezing, freezing I’m freezing Hold onto me It’s the sound of leaving Hold onto me That’s the sound of leaving Slip out into the stars Smoke saddle in your pocket Suitcase is in your car You don’t stop, you just can’t stop it Someday, somehow You’ll remember when you lost it The day you lost it Hold onto me It’s the sound of leaving, leaving Hold onto me It’s the sound of leaving, leaving That’s the sound Pinned down against your will Feel the planets rearranging I lie here very still The tiny whispers, the shiny whispers Oh no, oh wow The earth beneath our feet is shaking And now you’re breaking Hold onto me That’s the sound of leaving That’s the sound
