Suitcase Lyrics by slimdan

At the risk of sounding earnest
I said “baby we can make it if we try”
You said “isn’t that a song I know?”
I told you life can imitate the art sometimes
You want to break up after summer
All I’m doing is suggesting that we wait and see
Why pull the weight of a decision?
Why do we gotta make this harder than it has to be?

It’s not the going that hurts
It’s the leaving you that burns
Could we stay together by mistake
I could fit you in my suitcase
To pick up and give up on you
The best thing I’ll never do
Could we stay together by mistake
I could fit you in my suitcase

Between arrivals and departures
You miss the exit just to buy us some more time
I appreciate the sentiment
I appreciate it running through security lines
And I miss you
I think it’s well within my rights not say goodbye
Until I know when I will kiss you
Until I know I’m gonna see you one more time

It’s not the going that hurts
It’s the leaving you that burns
Could we stay together by mistake
I could fit you in my suitcase
To pick up and give up on you
The best thing I’ll never do
Could we stay together by mistake
I could fit you in my suitcase
