lyrics

Make your best move, I’m going to let you win
I’m not about trying to feel threatened
Empty a bottle in a bucket in a puddle by an unmade hotel queen bed
It’s about check out time
Alright, I’m coming

Always be preparing to leave
Always keep dropping what you don’t need
And be going before love becomes disappointing
Always be preparing to leave
Always keep dropping what you don’t need
And be gone before love turns to resentment

I want something from you, even though I shouldn’t ask for it
I want something from you even though I can’t receive it
Two beats longer to hold onto then I’m going to make a sudden and destructive action
Like say something I don’t mean, say something hurtful and foolish

Always be preparing to leave
Always keep dropping what you don’t need
And be going before love becomes disappointing
Always be preparing to leave
Always keep dropping what you don’t need
And be gone before love turns to resentment

I sleep in my jeans and I die in my sleep
I sleep in my jeans and I die in my sleep
I sleep in my jeans and I die in my sleep
I’ll be gone in the morning
