G               D                           Em
Today I wrote a song, and I guess that it's about you, 
                    C                                G
or how I never understood what dancing meant until I met you.  
                    D                             Em              C
In a winter college town you proved that we could move in ways so un-ingenuine.  
G                    D                                Em
Then: on the crowded floor, a little down, ten people over, 
                         C             G
was like standing on the violent ocean shore.  
                             D                                 Em
I said "you know it'd be the same," and I said "boy don't be naive.  
                 C                              G     D
even if i stuck around, but you know i'm always leaving.  
                    Em    C                       G    D                        Em   C
you know i'm always leaving.  you know i'm always leaving.  you know i'm always leaving.
G                     D                                 Em
so today i wrote this song, but somehow i know it's not about you, 
                        C                             G
as much as wanting to belong, or have something to connect to.  
               D                      Em
and how impermanence came wholly into question, 
              C                                   G                        D
when you, you challenged my perception that to go back and forth is such a noble task.  
              Em                     C                       G                  D
 you shook the sea without so much as leaving tracks and gave motion a whole new meaning.  
               Em                       C     G  D
one i'd try to learn if i wasn't always leaving.
                        Em   C                        G   D                         Em  C
but you know i'm always leaving.  you know i'm always leaving.  you know i'm always leaving
