If I Try To Leave lyrics - Deer Tick

If I try to leave

I won't know where I'm going

If I reach up my sleeve

I'll find my compass broken

Aw, who would take my place

If I were to go?

If I were to leave

For destinations unknown

If I try to leave

And find another future

Leave you in your grief

And other desperate measures

Some animals survive

But I only play dead

If I were to leave

From my own beloved

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd

I don't have to try hard

Loving you is easy

You know sometimes I wish

That you'd still try to teach me

Let love do me in

Love me 'til the end

I could never leave

You know I'd lose an old friend

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd

If I try to leave

I won't know where I'm going

If I reach up my sleeve

I'll find my compass broken

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd
