They say you're leaving Nehalem
Ever since our baby died
You've been seen with another guy
The whole damn town is talking now
They say you're leaving Nehalem
Hey don't you want me to go?
Hey don't you want me?
They say you're leaving Nehalem
You know how the bad words
get around
Big noise in a hard small town
Just tell me if you want me
They say you're leaving me
I don't give a fuck about what
those people say
I hope you find everywhere you go
All the good things that
you need to know
They say you're leaving Nehalem
There is this rumor out
They say you're leaving Nehalem
They say you're leaving me
They say you're leaving Nehalem
I know you're leaving me
I know you're leaving Nehalem
this song is about accepting rejection. he knows that his girlfriend is gone, and he can accept that if it makes her happy.
I have always thought that Art wrote this one for me :)
Yea, it's about realizing that sometimes you gotta let go the people or things you love, because that is the only way they are really going to find themselves.
i love this song. Its about not being able to take care of your lover anymore. your just not what they want anymore and everyone is strting rumors and your just like i love you but go, i hope your happy.....
Nehalem, Oregon is a very small town on the Oregon Coast. The Nehalem River feeds the Pacific Ocean at Nehalem Bay. Great song!
It seems by the first few lines that she's leaving because they had a child that died. I don't know if this happened to him, if I'm misinterpreting it, but it would be a reasonable motivation to leave.
Either way, every time I hear this song, it makes me wish I was in a mosh pit. I could listen to it with just the instrumentals and be just as thrilled.
it just sounds like a bad situation all around
It's about an ex who leaves Nehalem and heads to LA and becomes a junkie whore and ends up dead from heroin 6 months later...
