Lyrics
Dropped everything and left
To beat out the neighbors
‘cos that little parting kiss
Will do me no favors
Doesn’t leave any trace
There’s nothing in your suitcase
Just a lonely guy from out of state
Who kisses on the first date
And then forgets what you look like
I forget who found who
The full moon and my head cold
Must have made me bolder
‘cos I don’t know who I told
To meet me in the corner
Still don’t know your last name
I think I lost your number
Wouldn’t know what to say
Or how to blow your cover
Don’t get me wrong
I won’t stay long
Just drop me off
Dont’ forget what I look like
Don’t forget 'bout me so soon
Doesn’t leave any trace
There’s nothing in your suitcase
Just another guy from out of state
Who kisses on the first date
Still don’t know your last name
I think I lost your number
I wouldn’t know what to say
Or how to blow your cover
i’ll forget what you look like
I’ll forget about you soon
Note
Elliott recorded and contributes a slide guitar solo to the demo version of this song. He was not involved with the recording of the final version.
