Arrivals / Departures
You're killing me, kid
But I know you're not trying to
It's just that I've crossed out
More than I wrote down for you
And now I'm trying to play it off
Like, "Oh, I wasn't trying that hard"
But what I'm trying to say
Is I was trying to say that you should come home
I know it seems crazy
But the weather changed as soon as you left
And even wearing a coat now
I think it's too cold to sit in front of Holy Oak
But I guess you'll be here soon so you can see for yourself
I just thought that you should know
If this is what happens when you go
Maybe next time don't
I'm dying here before your eyes inside of darkened circles
I'm afraid of savage things I fought to keep away
Before I found out just what I found out I knew you'd become
Now you know the things I'm running from
And you can help me hide
In the places I once lived and lost the one
Now you know the things I'm running from
Now you know the things I'm running from
You're killing me, kid
But I know your intentions are good
I read what you wrote out, asked me to slow down
I should
I think you're trying to make it seem
Like it never could have meant enough
But what I'm hearing you say
Is that you're running away cause it meant too much
So this isn't easy
I know the weather in Melbourne is best
San Francisco got cold as I read your note walking Van Ness to Oak
You said "I guess I'll be home soon
But things will be different, I'm sure"
So I thought that you should know
If things are gonna change when you come home
Maybe this time don't
But I know you're not trying to
It's just that I've crossed out
More than I wrote down for you
And now I'm trying to play it off
Like, "Oh, I wasn't trying that hard"
But what I'm trying to say
Is I was trying to say that you should come home
I know it seems crazy
But the weather changed as soon as you left
And even wearing a coat now
I think it's too cold to sit in front of Holy Oak
But I guess you'll be here soon so you can see for yourself
I just thought that you should know
If this is what happens when you go
Maybe next time don't
I'm dying here before your eyes inside of darkened circles
I'm afraid of savage things I fought to keep away
Before I found out just what I found out I knew you'd become
Now you know the things I'm running from
And you can help me hide
In the places I once lived and lost the one
Now you know the things I'm running from
Now you know the things I'm running from
You're killing me, kid
But I know your intentions are good
I read what you wrote out, asked me to slow down
I should
I think you're trying to make it seem
Like it never could have meant enough
But what I'm hearing you say

So this isn't easy
I know the weather in Melbourne is best
San Francisco got cold as I read your note walking Van Ness to Oak
You said "I guess I'll be home soon
But things will be different, I'm sure"
So I thought that you should know
If things are gonna change when you come home
Maybe this time don't
