stephen kellogg - i know why lyrics

Loading...

i’ll miss you, i’ll miss myself when i go away
and when i don’t know anyone that’s there
that’s when i’ll know that i should stay
i carry with me a burgundy balloon
and a book about a seagull that transcends
every time that i choose not to settle down
it’s like i’m running up a bill with a friend

he comes upstairs and asks me for some help
i say “why don’t you sit down
i’ll lay the answer out in front of you
on condition that you turn it down.”
we never talk, we never hangout anymore
some sort of social defense
the clever way i present my case
a mending wall that’s like a fence

i know why because i believe
the more perfect i become
the easier it is to leave

i could say “fare thee well” and p-ss it off like i don’t care
or we could meet up in st. louis
if both of us should happen to be there
i’m like a clown that isn’t funny
as i dance across your door
you’re on the verge of something big
i’m on the verge of something more

just to leave, just leave…eventually

i didn’t think that you were serious
it seemed a little bit obscene
over a meal of blatant contradictions
it was a look i’d never seen
i’m headed west, i’m headed east
i’ve got this carpool with the wind
buy me a ticket to nowhere in particular
when i get through with this loneliness
that’s when i’ll know i’m in

or we could drive across the planet
i’ll navigate if you pay gas
a cast of questionable characters
a troop of fools until the last
i hear there’s still room on the roster
so said the stranger with the double-sided coin
if there’s room for two good people
i don’t see why we shouldn’t join

i know why because i believe
the more perfect we become
the easier it is to leave
