Good Excuse
I found out from a friend
'Bout a week ago
He told me 'bout your plans
And I deserved to know
He said you're skippin' town
In a month or so
He tapped me on the back
And handed me a smoke
(Yeah)
He said I can sense
You can't make sense of it
But trust me when I say
You're better off like this
I told him time will tell
But I can tell you this
There'll never be a time
When I'll be over it
I keep on calling
But you're killing it
I hold you close
But you always kick
I feel the pull
But you're pushing it
I'm hanging onto times
But you're loosening the hold
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Your whisper's in the wind
Your smile is in the sun
At times I stop and wonder
What I might have done
I'm kickin' about
Keeping those thoughts to myself
Tellin' everyone it was mutual
I keep on calling
But you're killing it
I hold you close
But you always kick
I feel the pull
But you're pushing it
I'm hanging onto times
But you're loosening the hold
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Hearing all the words
Stuck in your throat
Wishing you could tell me
That you're moving on
Hearing all the words
Stuck in your throat
Wishing you could say
That you're moving on
I'm hearing all the words
Stuck in your throat
Wishing you could tell me
That you're moving on
Hearing all the words
Stuck in your throat
Wishing you could tell me
That you're finally moving on
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
Am I the real reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse
Am I still the reason you're leaving town
Or am I just another good excuse?
