Big Scary Leaving Home lyrics

Stay awake, each life is like a blink of the eye
Breathe in, I feel the weight as the words they tumble down.

Brace yourself, your life's about to change, how you don't even know
But change is hard to deal with when all I feel is how I miss you now

As you sit there, crying on the phone

It's funny how a goodbye is the only way to really say I love you
And love that's shared is love that's spared from every inch of soil between us now

Places, a time, when I don't know how


Oh the simplicity, to piece together all I've been shown
But I don't know how it feels to have every piece of me crying to go home
Oh the fear when I wake and the pleasure of falling asleep next to you
And the weight of the crime, when we know that we do not know what to do.

As you sit there, crying on the phone.
As you sit there, wishing yourself home
