You Gotta Go!

(album: A Jackknife To A Swan - 2002)

I hadn't heard a word from you in how long
You just dropped off the face
You disappeared without a trace
And no one knew what you were up to
Or where your whereabouts were
Or if you were alive
That's why your call to me surprised me
It came out of the blue
You told me when you would be arriving
And there was nothing I could do
I just assumed you wouldn't stay long
And I was wrong it's nearly near a year
And you're still here
You gotta go, it's time for you to leave
You've worn out your welcome
It's time for you to go
I said that for a few days you could crash
At my place then I lent you
A substantial chunk of cash
Until you found employment
A job that's not beneath you
That never happened I wish I knew
What I now do I'd be far away from
You gotta go, it's time for you to leave
You've worn out your welcome
It's time for you to go somehwere else

I've had it I just can't take no more
You need to wake up
And get your drunk ass off the floor
You lost my cat and broke my TV
I can't use my couch till well past 3
So pack your bags, there's the door
You gotta go, it's time for you to leave
You've worn out your welcome
It's time for you to go somewhere else
You gotta go and this is not your address
You've worn out my patience
It's time for you to go, somewhere else
You gotta go somewhere else [x2]
You gotta go
