Cape Canaveral

I should trade my heart in for a watch
 'Cause all I do is watch the numbers slip away
 My lips silently repeat the countdown
 'Cause it's so hard to say
 I always knew, I always knew that you would leave
 Do you know where the hell we are
 All the birds are far too quiet in the trees
 Frightened by the sweet things we told each other
 Frightened by the things we made them see
 I always knew, I always knew that you would leave
 That you would leave
 Like hunger that you always have to feed
 Like when Don Rickles spotlight goes blue
 The countdown tells me I am better off alone
 And so empty without you
 I always knew, I always knew that you would leave
 You would leave, that you would leave, that you would leave
