I Love Leaving
Jonny Fritz Lyrics

Oh, classical music is so clarinetty
The sound of classical music reminds the singer of the clarinet.

I love meatballs but don't like spaghetti
The singer enjoys meatballs but doesn't like spaghetti.

It makes me so tired and I want to be ready
The singer is tired and wants to be prepared.

I love being ready to go
The artist enjoys being prepared to leave.

Oh, and I love to have to leave at the drop of a hat
The artist enjoys leaving quickly and without much notice.

I'm ready to go in seconds flat
The singer can be ready to leave very quickly.

Ready to go, hey I know about that
The singer is familiar with being prepared to leave.

I love being ready to go
The artist enjoys being prepared to leave.

Oh, and I love leaving
The artist enjoys the act of leaving.

Throwing everything in the truck
The artist puts all of their belongings in the truck.

Fishing through the glovebox for the radio
The singer searches through the glovebox to find the radio.

And letting the hood the slam shut
The artist allows the hood to slam shut.

And I love leaving
The singer enjoys the act of leaving.

And playing Tetris with the things in the van
The singer arranges their belongings in the van like a game of Tetris.

Circling the block til we get the right spot
The singer drives around the block until they find a good spot.

And honking at my friends
The artist honks at their friends as they leave.

People really love to say "remember when"
Other people often talk about past experiences.

"Wouldn't it be great to do it over again?"
Some people wish they could relive past experiences.

They'd give anything to go back then
Some people would do anything to relive past experiences.

Instead of in the mess they've made
Some people aren't happy with the way their life has turned out.

Oh but me, I hate talking about the good old days
The artist doesn't like talking about past experiences.

I never want to go down memory lanes
The artist doesn't want to reminisce about the past.

I only want to get into the passing lane
The singer only wants to move forward in life.

And I've always been that way
The artist has always been focused on the future.

I guess I love leaving
The singer enjoys the act of leaving.

Leaving without saying goodbye
The singer likes to leave without drawing attention to themselves.

Leaving without telling anybody I'm going
The singer enjoys leaving without telling anyone.

Quick as the blink of an eye
The artist leaves very quickly.

Someday I'll meet a woman I know who'll wanna keep me around
The artist expects to meet someone who will want them to stay.

And I'm gonna have to face the fact that I might want to stay
The singer acknowledges that they may want to stay with someone someday.

But until then I'll just be a'sitting in my driveway
In the meantime, the singer will be content to sit in their driveway and leave as desired.

Turn the key, hopefully I'll be on my way
The artist hopes to be able to leave when they turn the key.

Oh, I love leaving
The artist enjoys the act of leaving.

Leaving all my troubles behind
The act of leaving allows the artist to escape their troubles.

I guess I'm getting that age
The singer is getting older.

When turning the page is easier than learning my lines
The artist finds it easier to move past things than to dwell on them.
