Dust to Dust

from Ocean Echo by Peter Hazen

/

lyrics

First you say that I'm the one for you, and then what do you do?
You fly away across the continent and drop your phone in your soup!
Well, I wouldn't call you anyway because you'd only tell me stories
of the things I wish that I was doing with you, too.

So I hope you're happy out there living the life of my design
'Cause now, y'know, you've left without me, I'll have to go in my own time
and see all the things I would have seen if I weren't left behind,
so when you finally decide to come back, please don't be surprised
to find me packing up my ride with that wild look in my eyes
because I, too, must fly, whether or not you realize,
but I'll tell you right now, babe, if things keep up this way,
I can't wait to leave you in the dust someday!

No, I can't wait to leave you in the dust someday,
I can't wait to leave you in the dust
By the time you're comin' home, I'll be splittin' town alone,
'cause I can't wait to leave you in the dust, babe!

You know I'm not a puppy at the door, you know that I can't wait
When it occurs to you to return, I'm afraid it may be too late.
We pass like ships in the night as thought it was our fate,
but don't you try and say you never wanted it this way
because this is what you asked for and this is what you get.
You've been giving me a hard time since that first day that we met.
So spare me your regret. In case you hadn't noticed yet:
I can't wait to leave you in the dust someday!
