She's Leaving Home (Feat. Phantogram, Julianna Barwick & Spaceface)

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings

Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her hankerchief

Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free

She （we gave her most of our lives）
Is leaving （sacraficed most of our lives）
Home （we gave her everything money could buy）

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

Picks up the note that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy my baby's gone

Why could she treat us so thoughtlessly
How would she do this to me

She （we never though of ourselves）
Is leaving （never a thought for ourselves）
Home （we struggled hard all our lives to get by）

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

She （what did we do that was wrong）
Is leaving （we didn't know it was wrong）
Fun （fun is the one thing money can't buy）

Bye Bye

She's leaving home
Bye bye
