Just Like Leaving

The lights pouring through my window

Dressing everything all up in gold

And I don't know what I'm doing here

I left the howling winds and the prairies

To find some kind of idea, am I full or am I empty?

Well, maybe I just like hurting

Building up walls and then ripping them down with my own disposition

Well, my own hurting masks the way I feel about the world

And all the little things I wish were different

And I've been grieving since I left old Carolina

The bars on my window didn't leave me safe at night

Now I've chased your love 'cause I thought it might feel woolen

Like a dram on a damn cold winter's night

Well, some things, they just like leaving

Like people, love, and money

And I don't know what it's all running from

Perhaps the fear of splitting open

Showing some parts of yourself

That you don't even really want to know

And I've been grieving since I left old Carolina

The bars on my window didn't leave me safe at night

Now I've chased your love 'cause I thought it might feel woolen

Like a dram on a damn cold winter's night

Like a dram on a damn cold winter's night
