Watch Me Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
‎There was a train leaving for a big beat in a big life
Are you coming?
I may have asked you once or twice
But I'd already left the hallway with broken lights
Some dingy landing we used to tumble from
Where the stairs were cracked and worn, whatever

[Chorus]
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone
[Verse 2]
And the songs were pushing harder all the time
Wasn't your fault, then again, it wasn't mine
Broke, frustrated, and obsessed
You saw me as ridiculous, I guess

[Verse 3]
And I didn't know from nothing, not even my own voice
But I knew there was something and I knew there was no choice
I was leaving mostly heartache but I was in no mood to rejoice
There was so much that was wrong, whatever

[Chorus]
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone) Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

[Verse 4]
Well, maybe I'll hit the road with Bob or maybe hitch a ride with Van
It's all gonna happen and I'll be a happening man
And God must still be laughing at a boy and his plans
In the streets where they were born

[Verse 5]
And the hopscotch traces, well, you can still see them here
The chalk lines faded and unclear
Time for me to disappear
Put my old boots back on, whatever
[Chorus]
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

[Chorus]
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe, watch me gone (watch me go, babe, watch me gone)

[Instrumental Outro]
