  • It's a quarter to three and its clear
    Clear to me that you're leaving
    Usually, we don't come, come to blows 'til the evening
    Now the neighbors are out on the street
    Trying to hear what we're screaming about

    Oh, if they need a one to one
    A reason or an explanation
    If they need lessons on leaving
    I'll send them to you, Houdini

    Oh, you're looking at me
    Like you can't quite believe what you're feeling
    But I've always known that you'd go without giving a reason
    Oh, you start a war, slam the door throw it all in my face
    So, I don't want you to stay

    If they need a one to one
    A reason or an explanation
    If they need lessons on leaving
    I'll send them to you, Houdini

    I'll make my day and trade your place
    With anyone who's not walking away again
    I blame each escapade on my mistakes
    For not letting all this end

    If they need a one to one
    A reason or an explanation
    If they need lessons on leaving
    I'll send them to you, Houdini

    If they need a one to one
    A reason or an explanation
    If they need lessons on leaving
    I'll send them to you, Houdini Writer/s: Jade Bird
