lyrics

Fell out of this bed and didn't wake until the dawn
A voice inside my head was you and you were going on
And down the hazy halls and through the walls
Some syllables made contact

Must be something else to witness your words take effect
Alas it isn't due to what I expect you expect
I'm high on happiness and less and less
While cutting this connection

Oh I've learned so much more
Since I met the girl I'm gonna leave you for
There's things that will not be ignored
Now I've found the girl I'm gonna leave you for

Been floating out inside a space suit kissed by solar winds
Been idly eyeing all the world as down below it spins
But now I'm splashing down and climbing out
To turn around your skeptic

Oh I've learned so much more
Since I met the girl I'm gonna leave you for
It's time for you to learn the score
That I found the girl I'm gonna leave you for
Oh yeah I met the girl I'm gonna leave you for

I'm gonna stop interrupting the stories you tell
Spend less time doing nothing, biting my nails
I'm gonna straighten my slouch, not camp out on the couch
Stop talking about things I know nothing about
Gonna consider those around me a whole lot more
I'm gonna put by my grudges as I head out the door

Now I've found the girl I'm gonna leave you for
Yeah you could not have been forewarned
That I met the girl I'm gonna leave you for
Oh I, I found the girl I'm gonna leave you for
