Cape Canaveral - American Music Club

I should trade my heart in for a watch

'Cause all I do is watch the numbers slip away

My lips silently repeat the countdown

'Cause it’s too hard to say

I always knew that you would leave

Do you know where the hell we are

All the birds are too quiet in the trees

Frightened by the sweet things we say to each other

Frightened by the things we make them see

I always knew that you would leave

Like hunger that you always have to feed

Like when Don Rickles' spotlight goes blue

The countdown tells me I’m better off alone

And so empty without you

I always knew that you would leave
