Description
Men get angry after women leave. Women will explain only once. The verse is his rage, the chorus is her explanation. Four-on-the-floor kick and bass groove mixed with folk-guitar muted-strums represent both rage and compassion in this story which takes place over the course of a year.
Lyrics
The sky falls in ruin; the paths we walked in June. Blisters on my fists; you’re making me tragically mad. And you’re like ‘ba-boom,’ packing for the door. I couldn’t find any letters you wrote, so your romance novels I tore. Does it take me screaming for you to listen? Does it take me leaving for you to cry? Umbria and Sycamore, under the harvest moon. People saw you reading a book on the patio grass. The same book I tore, bitch! You left wanting more, bitch. Fast asleep at a quarter to four, ‘knock, knock,’ she lets her heart pour. Does it take me screaming for you to listen? Does it take me leaving for you to cry? It took me years to find that you’d been kissing another girl! Does it take me leaving for you to cry! Brandywine, afternoon haze; Cold winter christmas daze...
