"If I Return"
I’ll be leavin’ soon
Although it is up to me
I’ll make it up to you
If I return, baby
Somehow I just can’t decide
If I want to do what I’ve planned
As long as you’re a bona fide
Lover to the man
That you leave me for
I can respect that
I won’t be so fickle anymore
Just know I’m not coming back
If this happens
Arrange a fam
For when I come home
Only if you haven’t abandoned it all
I know you’re alone, but if you’re strong
I’ll make it up to you
Just as soon
As I walk in the door
Express our thoughts of mixed feelings
What do we have them for
If we’re going to keep’em in the ceiling
Of your love organ, no sexual innuendoes
Only your voice and mine, sweet crescendos
College or not, I contemplate
If you’re gonna ditch me, don’t make me wait
Especially if you plan on messing up my choices
When I actually have a chance to voice’m
I’d rather pick without having to worry
About who I would be leaving (behind)
Are there signs I’m not seeing?
Am I blind or is your plan to retreat?
Leave me once I’ve screwed up my life enough
Sounds nice for today, can I call your bluff?
Pull at the strings, I’m your puppet
College? When I’m with you, fug it
Worry about it all
Worry about the fall
The rise won’t be too casual
The rise isn’t that usual
Rub in the fact that you’ve got the money
Some joke that was – was it supposed to be funny?
Cause I surely don’t see it
You love me and I believe it
I think you only say it
Just so you can still lay it down
I don’t wear the pants
You decide the plans
I have no friends to talk to
About this, it’s all your fault you
Made me think “equal responsibility”
But you meant total aristocracy
You rule me and it doesn’t say much
Maybe I can get out of this infectious tub
If I trick you and tell you that I’m leaving
‘But only for the weekend’
Maybe I can get away
My life will be saved
I’m packing up - I’m adventuring
I may be gone a day or a century
I haven’t yet decided that
But if I come back
Expect it in a big way
I love you much, but I won’t stay
