Morning came and I tried not to notice,
It was time for you to move along,
And the minutes felt like petals all around us,
Like a goodbye kiss when goodbye felt so wrong.

So you better get going,
You better move along now,
You better run off then and make yourself scarce.

These few days I've decided to be lazy,
They don't move or seem to end at all,
And my heart is close enough to breaking
That is hurts just listening to your songs.

[Repeat]
So you better get going,
You better move along now,
You better run off then and make yourself scarce.

It's been a while now since you left,
And I can't seem to shake this lonely mood.
When the time comes, I'll try my best not to tell you:
Please don't leave again
Please don't leave again
I guess I'll say it now then
Please don't leave me again

Since it's all I have I want to go to sleep,
And dream of you and me just off the coast.
On a holiday so long and warm and lucky,
Always wake up in my bedroom all alone.

[Repeat: x4]
Guess I better wake up then,
I guess I better be going,
I guess I better run along now and find my own way.

    actually all the hostility towards conor baffles me way more than the idolizing. i can see why people idolize him, I do too because I think he's an amazing songwriter and performer. best of our (as in mine and his) generation for sure. But I just don't know how his talent automatically makes him the object of every fucking song ever written.
