Right Time To Leave

[Verse 1]
Tried to pick a day and a place
Circle it in red on the page
But the coffee got cold, sun came through the blinds
And I stayed, and I stayed
Had a plan, had a note, had a roof
Every step mapped out like proof
Then my phone lit up, you were asking for a ride
So I stayed, yeah I stayed
[Chorus]
Guess it never felt like the right time to leave
Every time I leaned out, something pulled on my sleeve
Little laugh in the kitchen, someone calling my name
Kept me hanging on the edge of the frame
Yeah, it never felt like the right time to go
I was halfway gone, then the moment said "no"
So I'm here, still here, somehow still breathing
‘Cause it never felt like the right time to leave
[Verse 2]
Picked a bridge, picked a night, picked a song
Thought, "Nobody would miss me that long"
Then some stranger nodded like they'd seen my face before
And I turned, and I turned
Counted pills, counted sins, counted scars
Stared a hole clean through the dark
Then the cat scratched the door, wanted in my room
And I laughed, just a spark
[Chorus]
Guess it never felt like the right time to leave
Every time I leaned out, something pulled on my sleeve
Some dumb joke on the TV, old movie I knew
Tiny, stupid little reasons came through
Yeah, it never felt like the right time to go
I was halfway gone, then the moment said "no"
So I'm here, still here, somehow still breathing
‘Cause it never felt like the right time to leave
[Bridge]
Maybe there’s never a perfect goodbye
Maybe that’s the only reason I’m alive
All these almost endings stacking up in my chest
Turned into this messed-up second chance
[Chorus]
Guess it never felt like the right time to leave
Every time I leaned out, something pulled on my sleeve
Now your head’s on my shoulder, and you’re counting my tears
Saying, "Stay another minute, stay right here"
Yeah, it never felt like the right time to go
I was halfway gone, then the moment said "no"
So I’ll be here, still here, still grieving
But it never felt like the right time
Never felt like the right time
Never felt like the right time to leave (hey)

Male vocals, raw but melodic; verses half-muttered then soar on the hook. Big, singalong gang vocals on the last chorus, with a fuzzy lead guitar line shadowing the melody., grunge
