The Day We Left Town Lyrics
As the morning sun seeps in through a crack in the blinds,
W we open up our eyes
Let's get off this queen-sized bed, where far too many tears have been shed,
& dreams were left for dead
It's such a glorious day, so come what may
You & I are off to see the World
We'll put on our best clothes
Bring only what we need
Douse the walls with kerosene
Drop a match from the mezzanine
Get into a car, we'll watch it from afar
As the flames kiss the sky there's only you & I
Let it burn to the ground, cos we're not hanging 'round
It's the day You & I are leaving town
Let it burn, let it burn
Cos today you and I are leaving town
You and I are leaving town
It's the day we're leaving town
It's the day we're leaving it all behind
It's the day we're leaving town
It's the day we're leaving it all behind
You and I
W we open up our eyes
Let's get off this queen-sized bed, where far too many tears have been shed,
& dreams were left for dead
It's such a glorious day, so come what may
You & I are off to see the World
Bring only what we need
Douse the walls with kerosene
Drop a match from the mezzanine
As the flames kiss the sky there's only you & I
Let it burn to the ground, cos we're not hanging 'round
It's the day You & I are leaving town
Cos today you and I are leaving town
You and I are leaving town
It's the day we're leaving it all behind
It's the day we're leaving town
It's the day we're leaving it all behind

what a beautiful demolition.
it's about finally making that escape with the one you love. maybe the day you look around and finally realise "why do we put up with all this shit, let's just run away" and thus this song manages to capture that feeling perfectly, real or imagined. lovely.
