about

This song is based off of the Bright Eyes song Four Winds.

lyrics

Setting out in the early morning
Fatigue of tears on your eyelids burning
Leave the house before mama comes
With the dogs at her heels

Say goodbye to the daily grind
With your guidance counselor lost in your head
Swept away by a metro card
to an island of strength

Run away
And never return
Run away
And never return

Grandma wishes you'd make amends
But the nightmares tell you the wound's still fresh
No protection from madwomen
Who live under your skin

In the margins of planner pages
Of empty hallways and cold staircases
Overwhelmed by a longing
Deeper than canvas and paint

Run away
And never return
Run away
And never return

Could I forgive you?
Unconscious of your deeds
I cannot believe
All that I wanted
Was one apology
one apology

What a failure and what a joke
What disaster children unwanted home
What the hell are we supposed to do
When you push us away?

I will not be the first to bend
Nor to beg forgiveness, I made no sins
I will cry to the Jersey sky
Before crying to you

Run away
And never return
Run away
And never return
