Lyrics

Well, you'll leave me in the morning

You'll depart from me in the morning.

And you'll leave me late at night

You'll also leave me late at night.

And I'll come running

I'll respond by coming to you hastily.

But I can't run very far

Despite my effort to pursue, I have limited ability to chase or reach you.


Well, you'll leave me in a supermarket

You'll leave me in a supermarket, among items like Twizzlers and powdered milk.

Between the twizzlers and the powdered milk

This setting depicts a mundane place where separation occurs.

And I'll come calling

I'll attempt to contact you, perhaps seeking help from the store's intercom system.

If they just let me use the intercom

If given the chance, I'd use the intercom to reach out to you.


Well I know you're gone

Despite knowing of your absence, I express a wish for your return.

Just don't be gone too long

Expressing a desire for your absence to be brief.


Well, you'll leave me in our kitchen

You'll depart from me in our shared space, the kitchen, where we had intimate moments like coffee and breakfast.

Where we drank coffee and fried our eggs

Memories of simple, cherished moments are associated with this location.

And I'll start crying

My response to your departure will be tears and emotional distress.

But I can't cry anymore

Despite my emotional response, I've reached a point where I can't cry any longer.


Well I know you're gone

Acknowledgment of your absence remains, reiterating the wish for your swift return.

Just don't be gone too long

An emphasis on the desire for your absence to be short-lived.
