Ben Dearie - Leave This Out Lyrics

The night that I met you
And I shook your hand
I know that you must
Have seen me trying to dance
But when you tell the story
You tell how it is
But my moves always seem
To be a detail you miss
I know
You must
Remember it all

But you leave this out
How I couldn't dance in high school
Yeah, you leave this out
How I don't always look cool
Yeah, you leave this out
When you tell it in your head
I think you leave this out
I think you leave this out

You've been with me on this journey
Hear me writing these songs
When I forget the chords
And when I sing the words wrong
When I come up with a concept
That will just never land
And I have to start over
And just rewrite the plan
You listen to
It over again

And you leave this out
How I can't always come up with words that fit the uh...
Beat
How I don't always look cool
Yeah, you leave this out
When you tell it in your head
I think you leave this out
I think you leave this out

Let's go

You can talk about how I get awkward
I'm not smooth, you could tell the truth
You know you could tell 'em how I'm not clever
But that's not part of the story you choose

You can talk about how I get awkward
I'm not smooth, you could tell the truth
You know you could tell 'em how I'm not clever
But that's not part of the story you choose

You can talk about how I get awkward
I'm not smooth, you could tell the truth
You know you could tell 'em how I'm not clever
But that's not part of the story you choose, yeah

Okay

Ow!
I think you leave this out
How I don't always look cool
Yeah, you leave this out
When you tell it in your head
I think you leave this out
I think you leave this out

I think you leave
You leave this out
Leave this out

Nah-hooooooo yeah
