about

I wrote the origins of this song at 2 AM, trying to match a music video idea in my head. 'I'd Leave You Alone' embodies a feeling of contentment in a situation where sadness would usually reside - happiness in chances not taken. Although I tried to record a 'studio' version of the song, to try and improve the quality of the mix, I decided to revert to the live vocals and guitar from the original demo, to give it an imperfect, 'human' sound, to reflect the song's meaning.

Hi, hello, welcome, hope you enjoy.

lyrics

L Y R I C S:


You steal my car keys
Don't know where to go
Given half the chance that you gave me
I'd leave you alone

Marbles out the window
Spilt milk on the floor
You promised me compassion
I'm not keeping score

Is this how it ends?
I'm feeling complacent
I don't know what to do
Oh I miss you, I miss them

Cherry blossom kites
Pigeons in flight
I don't want to talk to you
'Cause I know we'll just fight

Why can't we just stay the same? (x6)

You steal my car keys
Don't know where to go
Given half the chance that you gave me
I'd leave you alone
