Fort Christmas - The Leave Behind lyrics

December thirty-first, and we went walking downtown with a small crowd I had it all rehearsed: all along, I knew how this would go down I had it figured out: the way that my right hand would graze your left hand You had me figured out: you knew that I was plotting our escape plan So good to be with you on New Year's evening Everyone's drinking and we should be leaving To find a quiet place where we can talk 'Cause we'll be bringing in the New Year all alone I knew I had to find a clever way to see you on the next day It's called "the leave behind" - though it was never mine, I used it anyway So good to be with you on New Year's evening The dead of winter and you must be freezing Let's find a quiet place that's warm and cozy But don't tell anyone 'cause we'll be going alone Everyone's eyes are on the TV in the room But my eyes are fixed on you, and they don't stray Because I know that this is the beginning of the best years of my life The first years of our lives, starting now With you and I tonight So good to be with you on New Year's evening Everyone's drinking and we should be leaving To find a quiet place where we can talk 'Cause we'll be bringing in the New Year all alone
