Lyrics The Moment I Left - Austin Ward

It's been a little while since you called me up
Raincheck got the best of us
Used to meet me outside by the metro bus
One way ticket we'd be kickin' up dust
How are things down in Meridian?
Are people still hangin' at the North End?
Is your daddy drinkin' too much again?
Are you holding onto innocence?

It was on a Sunday afternoon
Bags already packed, one more look at my room
I never thought that you'd be one
To fall through the cracks
The moment I left and you stayed back

And you stayed back
And you stayed back
You stayed back
You stayed back
You stayed back

Picturing your face on the jetway
Remember thinkin' this'll never get away
Hoping we stay close even through all the pain
It's hard to send love from a different state
Well I've been growing up you've been getting home late
Feels like we're worlds apart these days
And that's hard to say
You ever think about that day?

It was on a Sunday afternoon
Bags already packed, one more look at my room
I never thought that you'd be one
To fall through the cracks
The moment I left and you stayed back

And you stayed back
And you stayed back
You stayed back
You stayed back
You stayed back
