lyrics

When I go back out
Into the city
Don’t leave me breadcrumbs
I’ll take them all with me
Don’t leave me roses
Cause they’ll be too pretty
When I go back out into the city

When I go back out
If it goes poorly
I want you to know that
I miss you sorely
Theres no intention
Theres just the story
And if it suits you, you tell it for me

I’ve got a black coat
It hangs in my closet
Its got cigarette stains
And holes in the pockets
It hasn’t come out
Since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight

When I go back out
The back roads of Cleveland
Drive a few blocks
As I’m thinking about leaving
End up out front
With a smile and a reason
Under the spell of what I’ve been believing

When I go back out
Its not about losing
I have not chosen
The path I am using
There ain’t no end
If I just keep moving
And I’ve had no say over what I’ve been doing

I’ve got a black coat
It hangs in my closet
Its got cigarette stains
And holes in the pockets
It hasn’t come out
Since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
And I won’t be empty tonight
