bye red ryder

you knew this was coming,
in your blood you knew

you got the feeling in your heart, 
the way it squeezed you
you knew what i would do

the signal rose in your eyes, 
you saw me going 
when the motion froze,
like the afternoon 
you washed my feet,
wiped away the dust 
& skin, you got me 
ready from the outside 
in, you got me good 
between the toes

you knew baby,  
you knew i'd go
