Leaving the City
RůisŪn Murphy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
There's no place
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
No more goodbyes
No exotic country
I found my journey's end
When I found you
Don't let me go
Won't leave town
Or go around
If you say so
Won't leave you know if you say so
Can't stay always going away
Never knowing the way home
Another hour
Another day
Surely we
Will find a way somehow
Leaving the city today
We're leaving the city
Soon I will be gone
Leaving the city today
Soon I will be gone
(Leaving, leaving, leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
There's no place
There's no place
(I'm leaving I'm leaving)
There's no place
I'd rather be
Than here dear
If I call you dear
It's because you are
There's no face
I'd rather see
There's no fear
Don't be afraid to say
Stay another day
Then another day
(Don't be afraid to say it)
Oh hold on
Don't you be gone too long baby
Another kiss
One more caress
An ego no
Another yes
Leaving the city today
Nothing about here to say
A D F see A F
D F see E D see E
We're leaving the city today
Why can't I get you to ask me stay
Don't you want to let the music play
D F see E D see D
We're leaving the city today
Is there something I've left here to say
A D F see A F D F see E D see D
Let the music play
(Don't you want to let the music play?)
Mmmhmm
Soon I will be gone
(I'm leaving)

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
Your data, my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact
These amaranth feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
But I'm overpowered
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain
With pre-programmed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
I'm overpowered

After all these years that acid bassline still rips....
@robertorolfo
Better than 99.99999% of modern music.
@Wanapelei
👍
@TrippyNoodles
Really reminds me of Luke Viberts acid stuff. In a great way too 😍
@khlothostonney5760
i suppose they shook you because you listen to mostly commercial music. those have been used to death in the underground for ages before this release. i give it thumbs up though for adding it to this great song!
@flatearthreality8683
why wouldn't it? the song did not change.
are you trolling or just crying for likes?
