[00:00.74] Why I Had to Go - Bishop Allen
[00:02.29]
[00:36.11] It is a narrowing
[00:37.53] It is a shrinking
[00:38.46]
[00:39.20] And there's a danger of overthinking
[00:42.15]
[00:42.70] It was everybody getting tired of drinking
[00:45.32]
[00:46.09] Every night
[00:46.78]
[00:49.71] There was a little left to believe in
[00:52.37]
[00:53.00] Which is how I really knew I should be leaving
[00:56.32] I should be leaving
[00:57.56]
[01:00.33] Now
[01:00.90]
[01:03.26] I should be leaving
[01:04.38]
[01:10.36] We were clever then
[01:11.76] We talked forever then
[01:12.61]
[01:13.37] And the night of our
[01:14.86] Invention it would never end
[01:16.74] There was a parting
[01:17.84]
[01:18.49] And there was sorrow
[01:19.50]
[01:20.19] It was impossible to picture it tomorrow
[01:22.71]
[01:23.57] It was necessity
[01:25.40] And it was instinct
[01:26.72]
[01:27.31] And the pattern underneath
[01:28.98] It kept repeating
[01:29.87]
[01:30.55] Kept repeating
[01:31.51]
[01:32.43] Kept repeating
[01:33.12]
[01:34.22] It's just how I really
[01:35.53] Knew I should be leaving
[01:36.77]
[01:37.31] I should be leaving
[01:38.74]
[01:41.51] Now
[01:42.04]
[01:44.30] I should be leaving
[01:45.81]
[01:51.63] Oh and it was everything
[01:53.74]
[01:55.01] Oh and it was just a way
[01:57.39] To keep from waking up
[01:58.49] Hello
[01:59.10]
[02:04.26] Which is why I had to go
[02:06.62]
[02:11.16] Which is why I should be leaving
[02:13.39]
[02:18.02] Which is why I had to go
[02:20.31]
[02:32.47] Am I delibering
[02:34.03] Am I delivering
[02:34.90]
[02:35.91] Am I offering the blanket
[02:37.50] And you're shivering
[02:38.48]
[02:39.20] Is it a play without the passion
[02:42.49] Is it the endless repetition of inaction
[02:45.29]
[02:45.92] Is this a christening
[02:47.15]
[02:47.66] Or there's a crisis
[02:48.82]
[02:49.45] We can get together then
[02:51.18] And say how nice it is
[02:52.86] Is it torment
[02:53.91]
[02:54.69] That depends
[02:56.52] Which is how a really
[02:57.59] Knew I should be leaving
[02:59.69] I should be leaving
[03:01.47]
[03:03.76] Now
[03:04.25]
[03:06.60] I should be leaving
[03:08.22]
[03:13.94] Oh and it was everything
[03:15.91]
[03:17.39] Oh and it was just a way
[03:19.63] To keep from waking up
[03:20.69] Hello
[03:21.30]
[03:26.57] Which is why I had to go
[03:28.97]
[03:33.46] Which is why I should be leaving
[03:35.34]
[03:40.22] Which is why I had to go
[03:42.70]
[03:47.73] What do you know
