Gonna Leave You Lyrics

Wait by the phone
Late alone
He can't help you
But I know I could

Three years too long
You know this is wrong
"Everything" scars the skin
Push it in, break it off

I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you

I gave it a start
I stomped on your heart
This the is the end,
No more pictures, we ain't friends
It's raining in my room
There's blood in my spoon
You're out of my highchair
I'm out of your womb

I'm gonna leave
I'm gonna leave you

Free is too long
You know this is wrong
Everything scars the skin
Push it in, push it in, break it off

I'm gonna leave
Gonna leave you

I'm gonna leave
I don't need you

"Three years too long You know this is wrong "Everything" scars the skin Push it in, break it off"

He's talking about putting the needle in his arm. I think the three years too long is the length of his addiction. Everything scars the skin. Push the needle in. Push down the plunger.

"I'm gonna leave I'm gonna leave you"

I'm gonna quit the heroin.

"I gave it a start I stomped on your heart This the is the end, No more pictures, we ain't friends It's raining in my room There's blood in my spoon You're out of my highchair I'm out of your womb"

I think the I gave it a start refers to his starting the drug. He's totally quitting her. There's blood in his spoon from the boiling heroin in the spoon.

"I'm gonna leave I don't need you " I don't need you to live happily.

Not certain of the full meaning, but "You're out of my highchair, I'm out of your womb" is a great way of saying "you're not my baby anymore, and I'm not yours".

it's one of nick's songs - or at least he sings it

maybe it is just about his decision to leave

anyway, nick's a big roky erickson fan, and roky's most famous song from his 13th floor elevators days is probably "you're gonna miss me" which deals with a similar subject
