Bright Eyes - Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man Lyrics

He always gets so mad things you 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 noticed how you waste no time making 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 trying to be nice to me
But there's a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide
The clocks, they chime, so now it's time

I know you try to play it cool but there are some thoughts
You just can't hide
Only in your closest friends would you confide
It's the way you say you'll be seeing me
Just like it's so, like it's so offhand
I guess soon you will 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 missed
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
