I Just Left
I didn't know
Where I was going,
It didn't matter,
I was already gone,
I just got up and took off,
With my running shoes and shorts,
I was gone so fast I forgot my shirt,
I was already out the door,

Where I was going,
It didn't matter,
I was already gone,
I didn't say goodbye
Or au revoir,
I didn't leave a note or sign,
I was already out the door
My parents yelled
at me to come back,
but I couldn't hear them,
I was already gone,
Why I did this,
I will never know,
It just happened,
I was already out the door.

You're sending me signs that are mixing me
The pavement glistens,
The roadway thickens,
With three thousand pounding feet.
Spectators stopping
