I got enough on my mind
00:53
That when she pulls me by the hair
00:56
She hasn't much to hold onto
01:00
She keeping count on her hand
01:03
One, two, three days that I been sleeping on my side
01:06
01:13
I finished kissing my death
01:16
So now I head back up the steps
01:19
Thinkin' about where I've been
01:21
I mean the sun was never like this
01:24
I wanna feel with the season
01:27
I guess it makes sense
01:30
'Cause my life's become as vapid as
01:32
A night out in Los Angeles
01:35
And I just want to stay in bed
01:37
And hold you like I used to
01:40
You know that I am home
01:46
So darling if you love me
01:49
Would you let me know?
01:52
Or go on, go on, go on
01:56
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
01:59
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
02:02
For once, for once, for once
02:08
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
02:11
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
02:15
She got enough on her mind
02:23
That she feel no sorrow
02:25
I let my fate fill the air
02:28
So now she rollin' down her window
02:31
Never been one to hold on
02:34
But I need a last breath
02:37
So I ask if she remembers when
02:39
She used to come and visit me
02:41
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
02:44
Or go on, go on, go on
02:51
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
02:54
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
02:57
For once, for once, for once
03:03
I get the feelin' that I'm right where I belong
03:06
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
03:10
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
03:16
I'll move back down
03:23
To this western town
03:27
When they find me out
03:30
Make no mistake about it
03:34
I'll move back down
03:37
To this western town
03:40
When they find me out
03:43
Make no mistake about it
03:46
I'll move back down (Go on, go on, go on)
03:50
To this western town (If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come)
03:53
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
04:05
Go on, go on, go on
04:07
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
04:08
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
04:10
For once, for once, for once
04:16
I get the feelin' that I'm right where I belong
04:19
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
04:23
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
04:29
04:36
I'll move back down
04:38

[English]
I got enough on my mindThat when she pulls me by the hair
She hasn't much to hold onto
She keeping count on her hand
One, two, three days that I been sleeping on my side
I finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps
Thinkin' about where I've been
I mean the sun was never like this
I wanna feel with the season
I guess it makes sense
'Cause my life's become as vapid as
A night out in Los Angeles
And I just want to stay in bed
And hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know?
Or go on, go on, go on
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
For once, for once, for once
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff?
She got enough on her mind
That she feel no sorrow
I let my fate fill the air
So now she rollin' down her window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
Or go on, go on, go on
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
For once, for once, for once
I get the feelin' that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down (Go on, go on, go on)
To this western town (If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come)
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
Go on, go on, go on
If you were thinkin' that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
For once, for once, for once
I get the feelin' that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?
I think I kinda like it but I might of had too much
I'll move back down
