Tim has said:
Leaving So Soon? was the last song written for the record, and it was pretty much the only song written in the studio. It was one of those songs that felt really good – it’s got a motown-y feel to it, I think. It’s a weird one, I guess it’s a kinda de...
[Verse 1]
You must think I'm a fool
So prosaic and awkward and all
Do you think you've got me down?
Do you think I've never been out of this town?
Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
You don't know me at all
I can't turn it on, turn it off like you now
No, I'm not like you
[Verse 2]
Now, now you're here
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
I'm trying to be kind
I get the feeling you're just killing time
You look down at me, don't you look down at me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face, in the face for you now
Just might do now
[Chorus]
You're leaving so soon?
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick to change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cause if you don't need me
I don't need you
If I don't need you
[Bridge]
Leaving so soon, soon?
Leaving, leaving so soon?
[Chorus]
You're leaving so soon?
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick to change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cause if you don't need me
Then I don't need you
