Steven Page - Leave Her Alone lyrics

We thought that you knew When two become one just for fun They rehearse 'til the worst of each person Becomes someone new; And that's you. You're bent out of shape I know that you're down on this town, But understand where you land often can Turn into what you've escaped Ain't it great? Leave her alone, she's doing just fine At least she's at home, at least she's alive Our baby has grown; leave her alone From Hell to Hell You went to Paris, but Paris was sh**ty And subsequent cities were sh**ty as well Do tell! Where do you go? No job in your field; fate is sealed Drag your luggage upstairs, push wheelchairs Through craft fairs and car shows Yes it blows. Leave her alone, she's doing just fine At least she's at home, at least she's alive She'll learn how to drive, she'll get off the couch And maybe in time she'll open her mouth She'll look in our eyes and let us inside Leave her alone When I was at sea I crossed the equator and later Rephrasing the hazing amazed at how cruel men could be, I saw they were no different from me An oasis of boredom in a desert of pain All the places you once dreamed of; only dreams remain. She's never going to leave again... Leave her alone, she's doing just fine She's living at home and losing her mind She's learning to drive, she's riding the couch And from time to time, she'll open her mouth And once in a while she'll look in our eyes and let us inside And murmur the words: What more do you need? I concede my defeat I went out in the world it was a mistake I came home to stay. I'd rather be safe the rest of my days with people I hate.
