Always Leaving

Today i wrote a song, and i guess that it's about you
 Or how i never understood what dancing meant until i met you
 In a winter college town you proved
 That we could move in ways so un-ingenuine
 Then: on the crowded floor, a little down, ten people over
 Was like standing on the violent ocean shore
 I said "you know it'd be the same,"
 And i said "boy don't be naive
 Even if i stuck around, but you know i'm always leaving
 So today i wrote this song
 But somehow i know it's not about you
 As much as wanting to belong, or have something to connect to
 And how impermanence came wholly into question
 When you challenged my perception
 That to go back and forth is such a noble task
 You shook the sea without so much as leaving tracks
 And gave motion a whole new meaning
 One i'd try to learn if i wasn't always leaving
 But you know i'm always leaving
 A thousands miles away, another conflict i've been through
 About the innocence of the criminal when the victim is you
 And the tendency to justify a law thats flawed
 And i got caught
