Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man Songtext
von Bright Eyes

He′d always get so mad at things you'd laugh at
"Don′t get so worked up", you'd say
But on the back deck, you admitted that
You haven't felt much like laughing lately anyway
And so I say, "Hey, that could change"

I notice how you waste no time
Makin′ your way across the room
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you
It isn′t no coincidence
Where you finally choose to stand
I guess soon, soon you'll be leaving your man


First it′s a sweet smile and then a denial
Hey, you're just tryin′ to be nice to me
But there's a meaning to every fleeting
Action we unconsciously decide
Now the clocks they chime
So now it′s time

I know you try to play it cool
But there's some thoughts you just can't hide
Only in your closest friends would you confide
It′s the way you say you′ll be seein' me
Just like it′s so, like it's so offhand
Well I guess soon, soon you′ll be leaving your man

You stare at me so boldly now
You have no lack of confidence
It's just those lessons on subtlety you miss
I know you dream of saving me
Like I′m some plane that you could land
But when you fly, you will be leaving your man
