If You're Leaving

You keep your shoes on in the bedroom
Set your bag beside the chair
Say you only came to get it
There's nothing of yours in there

I could ask about the weekend
You could ask about my mouth
We could keep this conversation
On the things we talk around

You move closer
I forget the question
Your hand finds the back of my neck
That still gets my attention

If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?
If it's over
Why you keep on coming back?

Don't say you miss me
Say you want me
I can work with that
If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?

You used to leave a glass of water
On the table by my bed
Now you won't take off your jacket
You remember what comes next

I put a record on too loudly
You turn it down to say my name
I know exactly what you're doing
I put my hand there anyway

You say: This doesn't change a thing
I say: I know, I know
Then move the bag out of the doorway
Like you've got nowhere to go

If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?
If it's over
Why you keep on coming back?

Don't say you miss me
Say you want me
I can work with that
If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?

Like that
You know I'll take you back
Like that
You never have to ask

You stop and ask me, Is this fair?
I nearly laugh
You always ask that after

I could let you take your bag
I could keep my hands in place
Instead I ask if you want coffee
You say it's getting late

I said I could do this
I said I wouldn't mind
Now I'm finding little reasons
You should stay another five

I can'n keep calling this enough

If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?
If it's over
Why you keep on coming back?

Don't say you miss me
Say you want me
No, I can't work with that
If you're leaving
Why you kissing me like that?

You reach down for your bag
This time
I leave it where it's at
