• [Intro]
    Too far away from home
    to dance this night away alone.
    If its not okay with you
    I'll still be gone; you'll still be wrong.

    [chorus:]
    Falling awake:
    My mind is taken aback to what I've just escaped
    [and only just escaped].
    Running away:
    my head is racing me back
    to what my heart can't take,
    [bending what won't break].

    I had never been so conscious of my breathing;
    the sound so amplified.
    Always thought of love as lost:
    A hopeless cause not worth the cost;
    it was always worth your hand in mine.

    I awoke on a sidewalk
    and looked up in apathy;
    stared as the stars watched the empty city streets.
    Silence...
    and a heartbeat:
    Note that I'm barely breathing, but

    Falling awake:
    My mind is taken aback to what I've just escaped
    [and only just escaped].
    Running away:
    my head is racing me back
    to what my heart can't take,
    [bending what won't break].

    [Bridge]
    Falling off my fences,
    my knees are sound asleep
    as I head over my heels for you.
    Ignoring my defenses
    and all the sense I had
    made no more sense than we could

    [Outro]
    So far away from love,
    just close enough to throw me off.
