Suitcase - Mezzoforte

Suitcase, suitcase follow me 'round Bootlace, bootlace tie me down Money for fun yeah Golden crowns Well it's all inside a game we've been playing, for so long Driver, driver go too fast Miser, miser make it last Pusher, pusher on the run Well it's all inside a game we been playing, so long I'm sorry to be leaving That's all I get to say I'm sorry to be leaving today Well I'm sorry to be leaving That's all I get to say I'm sorry to be leaving here today Driver, driver go too fast Miser, miser make it last Pusher, pusher on the run Well it's all inside a game we've been playing so long

They grew up there on the river, down on the riverside. Muskrat roast for Sunday dinner, everybody's satisfied. Those two kids never could be parted, running round side by side. Young love, so open hearted, and a river so deep and wide. Floating on a raft in the thick of summer, fishing with a toe-tied line. Raised by the river raised by the running weather of water and time. A flash-flood came with a hammer of thunder out of a clear blue sky. Took away one and left the other, down by the riverside. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. Now there's a poor lost soul abandoned down on the riverside, Sitting there just watching the water, never be satisfied. Waiting for the floods of summer, praying to be taken away, Back into the arms of the other, longing for yesterday. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay.

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long Never fool myself that my dreams will come true Being used to trouble I anticipate it But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you? So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by, you always have before) Where am I going to? Time and time again I've said that I don't care That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through But every time it matters all my words desert me So anyone can hurt me and they do So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by, you always have before) Where am I going to? Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know Well, maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion But that's no consolation here and now So what happens now? (Another suitcase in another hall) So what happens now? (Take your picture off another wall) Where am I going to? (You'll get by, you always have before) Where am I going to? (Don't ask anymore)

When the sun comes up, you know that I'll be leaving But tonight, let's spend it staring at the moon Tryna pack away these seconds I keep stealing I'm not done holding you I'm not done loving you, girl, oh Everybody's always giving me a reason Everybody's always telling me to go None of them could ever feel the way I'm feeling You know I just can't pull myself away The more I fight, the more I wanna stay And now I just can't find the words to say So I wish that I could take you in my suitcase When the last few hours always feel like seconds And the time just keeps on crashing into you When I close the door for one last time Will the days we had get left behind? And I told ya, I can't get over you, oh Everybody's always giving me a reason Everybody's always telling me to go None of them could ever feel the way I'm feeling, no You know I just can't pull myself away The more I fight, the more I wanna stay And now I just can't find the words to say So I wish that I could take you in my suitcase Take you in my suitcase Bring you everywhere that I go Bring you everywhere that I go Bring you everywhere that I go Bring you everywhere that I go You know I just can't pull myself away The more I fight, the more I wanna stay And now I just can't find the words to say So I wish that I could take you in my suitcase Take you in my suitcase
