Sold our clothes to the fair,
And we cut off our hair,
Like two kids on the run from the law.
Hit the road with a pack,
Have no date to come back,
Got the plan from a movie you saw.
It took all that I had,
To admit I was sad, to be leaving here once and for all.
It took all that I had-
Got no need to turn back
In a week I'll forget to have called.
Without taking a look,
Pass the towns in your book.
I'm the queen of your old car's front seat.
And "all my heroes are dead" is all that you said
When we thought about who we could meet.
It took all that I had-
Bait my tongue and stood back.
Know the words and the names,
Just for show.
It took all that I had,
With pursed lips,
(Not too alive OR start to lie)
You know everything you wish to know,
Don't you?
Don't you?
Mhhm.
For the stories, you tell
I'd expect you'd know well,
All the corners and holes in your mind.
But all your stories are dead,
When you said in your head, beat the drum shared by all your kind.
It took all that I had, not to say I was glad,
I'd be seeing your face not at all.
It took all that I had,
Bait my tongue and stood back.
It's a trap I am glad to not fall,
Into,
Into.
