You can run away with me, anytime you want.
We can chase the stars together, find a soul to haunt.
Running down the memory lane, pocket full of dreams,
I lost you on the wayside where nothings what it seems.
I left you there to slowly fade, a masquerade at most.
And though I’m hardly fit to speak, I’ll break you in a boast.
From crashing waves to moonlit fads, let’s have ourselves a feast,
And though you think I’m just a *****, I’m really such a beast.
You broke me down and stole my heart, and I did not fight back,
But now it’s time you see the fight, and courage which I lack.
To shut you out and break your walls and tell you I’m okay,
When really all I needed was for you to make me stay.
And leap into my mind, its dark, but soon you’ll surely see,
You give me just a glimmer of light, a tiny hint of glee.
But you won’t run away with me into the blackest white,
And I’ve no choice to accept that this won’t ever be alright.
