Lyrics:

Lock your lips on eastern time,
Bleed my heart, I’m leaving mine.
See my soul makes it home.
I’m high on wretched wine.
Spinning here alone.

I left you on the street,
With a face so long, that it touched your feet.

I am a leaver.
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver.
I haven’t landed since I fell

Roaming streets, I’ve never found.
Singing songs, without a sound.
Cannot shake you from the tree,
And sow you in the ground.
Keep you next to me.

You left me in defeat,
With a loss so great, that I can’t retreat.

I am a leaver,
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver,
I haven’t landed since I fell.

Treasures dropped in the sea.
Lovers leap, like you and me.
I am a sucker and a sin.
But baby, I believe, in no effigy.

I left you on the street,
With a face so long, that it touched your feet.

I am a leaver.
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver.
I haven’t landed since I fell.

I am a leaver,
I am a shaken, battered shell.
I am a leaver,
I am a liar, can’t you tell?
Can’t you tell?
Can’t you tell?

If the opening guitar riff doesn’t put a bustle into your hedgerow, then you might want to get that looked at. However, the upbeat guitar rift belies the dark underbelly of a breakup. (All great songs are about new love, or love gone bad, right?)

Turn it up, my babies.
