Love You When You Leave - My Jerusalem

Vivid as a plane wreck

Spilled out on the tarmac

I can feel my legs begin to quake

Oh I love to wear disguises

but I hate this maquerade

baby you and me

although we’re thick as thieves

the only time I love you

is when you leave

pulling teeth and deep stares

strung out in the spring air

I just hang my head out to dry

I could fake forever

but its just not worth the time

fingersnaps and handclaps

leapfrog all the deep cracks

a contradiction falling to the ground

im in misery without you

its just like your still around

baby you and me

although we’re thick as thieves

the only time I love you

is when you leave

timid as a tape deck

spilling all the same shit

my attention span left long ago

but theres comfort in the knowledge that

i’ll probably die alone

baby you and me

although we’re thick as thieves

the only time I love you

is when you leave

baby you and me

as funny as it seems

the only time I love you

is when you leave

the only time I love you

is when you leave
