Description
The Air Left opens up the album proceedings, a rather svelte and passionate approached song that drags you into Leslie’s world. The opening lines, “The air left the room and I fell / Down to my knees and stayed there for well over a year”, really sets the scene, a song that is paced with the perfect meter and timbre, featuring some really subtle and beautiful vocal melodies that are complimented by some rather succinct and fascinating guitar work.
Lyrics
The air left the room and I fell Down to my knees and stayed there For well over a year Could you tell? I think you suspected But I carefully covered my legs just to keep you From learning I couldn't look at you The air found a hole and seeped in Slowly returning me to form And as I moved around, nothing fit I lowered my hands, 'cause I had carelessly covered my eyes Just to keep you From learning I couldn't look at you I'll live with it no longer 'Cause it's both of our lives And we cannot spend forever this way I wish we'd waited longer Before signing the line But we can't consider it a mistake The air left a trail of downed trees Reeking it's havoc And a few people claimed to have dropped To their knees But don't blame the wind, 'cause It will just knock you down 'Til it gets where it's going And when it arrives, it starts floating I'll live with it forever, but my pillow is dry 'Cause the debt is not just mine to repay I wish I'd left it sooner, but it wasn't a lie And I don't consider it a mistake
