Exile Lyrics
[Verse 1: Josh Napert]
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
[Chorus: Josh Napert]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
[Post-Chorus: Josh Napert]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Alyssa Caroline]
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury
I can see you standing, honey
With his arms around your body
Laughin', but the joke's not funny at all
And it took you five whole minutes
To pack us up and leave me with it
Holdin' all this love out here in the hall
[Chorus: Josh Napert]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
[Post-Chorus: Josh Napert]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Alyssa Caroline]
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injury
[Chorus: Alyssa Caroline & Josh Napert, Alyssa Caroline]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I defending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
[Bridge: Josh Napert, Alyssa Caroline & Both]
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs
[Chorus: Alyssa Carolin & Justin Vernon, Alyssa Caroline]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So who am I defending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I defending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
[Bridge: Josh Napert, Alyssa Caroline & Both]
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs
[Chorus: Alyssa Carolin & Justin Vernon, Alyssa Caroline]
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So who am I defending now?
You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before
So I'm leavin' out the side door
[Outro: Josh Napert, Alyssa Caroline & Both]
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
(So many times) I never learned to read your mind
(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)
You never gave a warning sign
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
So step right out, there is no amount
Of crying I can do for you
All this time
We always walked a very thin line
You didn't even hear me out (You didn't even hear me out)
You never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
I never learned to read your mind (Never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (You never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
All this time
(So many times) I never learned to read your mind
(So many signs) I couldn't turn things around (I couldn't turn things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (You never gave a warning sign)
You never gave a warning sign
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
