Away

Um. Jimmy Eat World inspired. For someone amazing :) Enjoy x

Away

I'm stood out at the corner of your road
And you don't know that I'm here.
I can see your house out the corner of my eye,
And I can tell you're home.
No I can't see movement and I can't see your bedroom light,
But I know you're close because I know
And because the stars have never looked so bright.

They tell me
They begged me
And I know that I shouldn't be here.
But they don't know
And they can't see
My heart beating as you walk to me.
They could never see.

And it's cold underneath this clocktower,
But it's good just to be here.
I can see your eyes darting back and forth,
Between my lips and my eyes.
No I can't breath right and I can't let go,
'Cause I know you're close because I know,
And because the stars are all on show.

They tell me
They begged me
And I know that I shouldn't be here.
But they don't know
And they can't see,
My heart beating as you walk to me.
They could never see.

When the sun comes up don't forget where I am
And I'm always where you think I'll be,
'Cause I'm not done waiting.
Keep your lies and I
I will remain
Unable to tear myself away.
