Blitzen Trapper - Love The Way You Walk Away lyrics

rate me

I’ve been feeling in the way kinda under foot on a Saturday,

The sun it don’t mean to hurt I guess,

But the bright lights harsh when you’re tryin to rest,

I know you’ve been working some over time

In your grandparents kitchen trying to make a dime

The old joke stands ‘cause it's true I guess,

That when you find what you’re looking for you want it less

Baby i’m on the make, in my ole sport coat and my head it aches

Drinking too much tonight and it aint’ right

And a brand new coat of paint

On this broke down palace couldn’t compensate

For the things I’ve never really said to make you stay

‘Cause i love the way you walk away.

I spent the night in an ole sadan

It was parked by the river where the oak trees stand

Tryin to find a station on that radio

Searching hard for a song that I just don't know

Some kind of person on a different need

But all I heard was the stars as they spoke to me

An ancient tongue speakin' loud and true

Telling me all the ways that I'm losing you.

'Cause baby I’m on the make, in my ole sport coat and my head it aches

I'm letting you down tonight and it 'aint right

And a brand new coat of paint

On this broke down palace couldn’t compensate

For the things I’ve never really said to make you stay

‘Cause i love the way you walk away.

I’ve been feeling hard to get

like a dog hiding out underneath a step

Burning this bridge ‘cause i need the lot for to see my way through the coming night

I guess I thought you'd always just play the game

Come a walkin' on back down the same ole lane

But the grass grows higher all around your door

It's a sign or a symbol for the things in store

'Cause baby i’m on the make, in my ole sport coat and my head it aches

Drinking too much tonight and it aint’ right

And a brand new coat of paint

On this broke down palace couldn’t compensate

For the things i’ve never really said to make you stay

‘Cause i love the way you walk away
