[Verse 1] The bus is breathing by the courthouse curb, Your suitcase leans against my knee. The drugstore sign still buzzes across Main, And Mr. Bell is sweeping up at three. You ask if I could stay another season. I watch the water tower catch the sun. [Chorus] Leaving looks like love On this side When staying would make both our good hearts small Leaving looks like love I hate that it's true, but I'm answering the call (Go on, go on) (We'll be all right) [Verse 2] Your mother waves from inside the cafe, Two coffees cooling by the pie. The feed store dog is sleeping in the doorway, Like every Tuesday passing by. I thought goodbye meant somebody had failed us. Now I know it means we told the truth in time. [Chorus] Leaving looks like love On this side When staying would make both our good hearts small Leaving looks like love I hate that it's true, so I'll carry it with pride (Go on, go on) (We'll be all right)
