Morning came and I tried not to notice.
It was time for you to move along.
And the minutes fell like petals all around us,
Like a goodbye kiss when goodbye felt so wrong.

So you better get going,
You better move along now,
You better run off then and make yourself scarce.

These few days I have decided to be lazy.
They don't move or seem to end at all,
And my heart it is close enough to breaking
That it hurts just listening to your songs.

So you better get going,
You better move along now,
You better run off then and make yourself scarce.
Yeah,
You better get going,
You better move along now,
You better run off then and make yourself scarce.

It's been while now since you left,
And I can't seem to shake this lonely mood.
When the time comes, I'll try my best not to tell you:
"Please don't leave again"
"Please, don't leave again"
I guess I'll say it now then.
Please don't leave me again.

Since it's all I have I want to go to sleep,
And dream of you and me just off the coast.
On a holiday so long and warm and lucky,
Always wake up in my bedroom all alone.

Guess I better wake up then,
Guess I better get going,
Guess I better run along now, and find my own way.
Yeah,
Guess I better wake up then,
Guess I better get going,
Guess I better move on now, and find my own way.

Guess I better wake up then,
Guess I better get going,
Guess I better move on now, and find my own way.

Guess I better wake up then,
Guess I better get going,
Guess I better move on now, and find my own way.
