Best to Leave - Horse Feathers

Best to leave before the crash

You’ll be run off the road into the river, flowers splashed

As the crowds arrive fashionably late

To turn the key, turn the page, they won’t wait

You’ve gone to nowhere all alone

Like a lonely verse without its song

When the crowds arrive and lines were long

They turn the key, turn the page till you’re gone

Now it’s setting in

One or the other

Was it me or the time?

Did I hold you too tight?

And run it into the ground

Hurt is late and repressed

Did our love see the death?

It’s best to leave before the crash

You’ll be run off the road into the river, flowers splashed

As the crowds arrive to find what’s wrong

To turn the key, turn the page without a sound

I can see where I don’t belong

A lonely verse without its song

It’s one or the other

It was me or the time

Did I hold you too tight?

And run it into the ground

See where I don’t belong

A lonely verse without its song

Hurt is late and repressed

Did our love see the death?
