Outasight - She's leaving home lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]

Wednesday morning ‘round five o’ clock

The day begins, it never stops

We wake up to a little light peaking on through

Downstairs to the kitchen we go

Eat breakfast, sip a cup of Joe

On the counter there, I left you a rose

Next to a note for the airport

Quickly eat and puff a smoke

The TV blares and the stove is broke

No need to talk or crack a joke

I packed your bags and we hit the road

Start the car and end the day

Knew this was coming ‘round the end of May

But it’s easier said than done

Made our bed and we had our fun but…

[Hook]

She’s leaving-leaving home

Home-home-home-home

She’s leaving-leaving home

Home-home, she’s leaving home

[Verse 2:]

Paris, France, Spain and Milan

Rides in Venice, staring at the stars

Polaroid flicks and postcards in script

Written to her family that she will dearly miss

And the radio at night would play her favorite song

Can’t hardly wait, Westerberg has his charm

Two weeks alone and one week in Prague

Days turn to month and that’s she want

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]

They say home is where the heart is

But what happens when you departing?

Excuse me miss but please you’ll have to pardon

My behavior but I’m just getting started

And I can say this with confidence

Or use my common sense to state the obvious

Beyond the compliments, we are the opposites

Attracted to each other, magnets for a mess

Wishing all the best but only getting stressed

Staying for the sex and fighting bout the checks

Issues addressed including your address

You leaving home on a flight direct

That I can’t intersect but if I can interject

It’s not too late and I would just say

That how we came together is a measure of fate

But I guess it can wait as we pull up to the gate

[Hook]
