Leaving After All

from Paint By Number by 3

lyrics

Behind her smile
She licks the blood off of her teeth
And says she'll stay
Because it's easier that way
Way
And I've had enough
So shut me down or just shut up
I'm sick of hearing your confessions
(Confessions)
I'm sick of cleaning up your messes
(Messes)
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away

I'm sinking and thinking
I'll override this (undertow)
Have I been
Relying
Too much on you to stay afloat?
Your funny face
You're leaned against the wall
I can't believe it's true
That you're not you
And you're leaving after all

Time is a bus
That drives itself through all of us
We sag and drag in funny places
(Places)
When traffic's heavy on our faces
(Faces)
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away

I'm sinking and thinking
I'll override this (undertow)
Have I been
Relying
Too much on you to stay afloat?
Your funny face
You're leaned against the wall
I can't believe it's true
That you're not you
And you're leaving after all

You say, "I'll stay the same
If you'll just trust"
From me to you and rust to dust
But I watch you walking day to day
Pick up some change along the way
The way
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away

(If that's the way)
I can't believe it's true
(The way)
I found out that you're not you
(The way)
You said you'd stay, yes I recall
(You are just wasting)
Oh
(Away)
I can't believe it's true
I found out that you're not you
You said you'd stay, yes I recall
But you're leaving after all

3 Woodstock, New York

3 is a band apart. Dark yet uplifting, spiritual without any connection to religion, theirs is a sound that transcends the genre conformity of modern pop culture. Rapid-fire acoustic guitar infused with dynamic percussion, animated drumming, thunderous bass and melodic vocal acrobatics culminate in a listening experience that is at once accessible and unique. 3 offers musicality without pretension ... more
