Lyrics If I Leave - Slake Dransky

I really hope I didn't wake you up
At all
I hope you have the sweetest of dreams
Don't feel obligated to call me back anytime soon, man
Uh, it's just
Been a while

If I leave you now
Would you say I got lost along the way
Would you know what you meant to me
Even though I couldn't stay
If I leave you now
Would you love what I have left
Or would you love the ones who knew me
'Cause they knew me at my best
If I leave you

I'm staring at the cards on the off days
If God talks it's flip sides and wrong ways
I got caught in a quickly filling basin
Told myself when I'm face down
Maybe thеn I'll know patience, look
I nevеr lived to not croak
That's dangerous
I lived for knotted stomachs
And hearing 'bout how your day went
Lived for hottest summers with no phones
Sneaking out with your folks home
And silently speaking the same language, but
Would you wonder if I ran away
Ran away

If I leave you now
Would you say I got lost along the way
Would you know what you meant to me
Even though I couldn't stay
If I leave you now
Would you love what I have left
Or would you love the ones who knew me
'Cause they knew me at my best
If I leave you

I had a dream that I was only music
I met my death
They heads just kept on bopping to it
Sales soaring
Everyone got they pockets boosted
In times of trouble the vultures call themselves opportunists
Damn
Fiery message melts to shy ember
I get to heavens gates they ask if I'm a Prime member
Like fuck that shit
You know what I did
You know what I gave
They say "you performed"
It jolts me awake
Wait
Was that the gist of it
Performative censorship
Pick preferred lenses and sulk if you don't connect with this
Slake
Pick the phone up
Call you mother and listen
Tell your father you miss him
Best acknowledge the distance, look
I don't really wanna

If I leave you now
Would you say I got lost along the way
Would you know what you meant to me
Even though I couldn't stay
If I leave you now
Would you love what I have left
Or would you love the ones who knew me
'Cause they knew me at my best
If I leave you
