Rachael Yamagata - Sunday Afternoon
to stay
It’s a dream
& I wanna wake
You have blood on your hands
and I’m feeling faint
And honey
You can’t decide
I’m a drug
Ya don’t wanna give up
Smoke your cigarettes
Make your love
You poured blood in my heart
and I can’t get enough
I’m drowning, drowning
and you can’t decide
It’s not about geography, or happenstance
you need to fly, & take a chance
You don’t need to soar to emptiness
Float on high, & forever dance alone
Your scared, scared, scared
cuz I feel like home
Hear your voice
Knew right away
If you were here
your eyes would say
There is blood on my feet
as I’m walking away
Rivers are red
Its starting to rain
I’m not gonna live for you
or die for you
Won’t do anything anymore for you
Cuz you leave me here on the other side
You leave me here on the other side
Not gonna shed one more tear for you
shed one more tear for you
I’m not gonna shed one more tear for you
At least not til Sunday Afternoon
Sunday Afternoon
Leave or Stay
Leave or Stay
Rachael Yamagata – What if I Leave
Oh why don’t you call
When you say you will my dear
Is it because I don’t belong to you
Anymore
And why don’t you come
When you say you will my dear
Do you really think it will work out wrong
Oh and you’ve been lost
And I’ve been saved
Is that what comes from giving away
Maybe in time you will come back along
To greet me
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
Why don’t you call?
Don’t you miss me at all?
Left a long long time ago
To where the weather was better
For his kind
Why won’t you play?
You’ve gone and left your face
I may be a fool all along
But I never understood these rules
Oh and every street calls your name
A whispering ghost of neighborhood flame
Maybe in time you will wake up to find you’re free
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cry
You were gone that day, so you may have missed
My goodbye
Oh, and sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
“If you really care you won’t go away”
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
