Left and Leaving Lyrics


My city's still breathing but barely it's true
Through buildings gone missing like teeth
The sidewalks are watching me think about you
All sparkled with broken glassI'm back with scars to show back with the streets I know
They never take me anywhere but here
Those stains in the carpet, this drink in my hand
These strangers whose faces I knowWe meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say, "I wanted it this way"
And wait for the year to drown
Spring forward, fall back down
I'm trying not to wonder where you areAll this time lingers, undefined
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me
Some matches, a blanket, this pain in my chest

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The Weakerthans are a Canadian indie rock/folk band headed by former Propagandhi member, John K. Samson. Their blend of punk-inflected folk rock with literate, witty, introspective lyrics have made them one of the most popular bands on the Canadian music scene. Hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, The Weakerthans have produced four full albums with a variety of unusual subjects; a couple of songs are sung from the point of view of John's cat Virtute (Ver-tu-tay).
