And so I put my hands over my eyes
Call me what you want, I don't care
'Cause I know better than you
That I'm a masquerader
Not gonna do what I always do
'Cause I want to live by this song
Just need time to learn the melody
And I will take it with me
When I go I'll know how to walk away
When I go I know it'll be easy
'Til then I'm in the hollows again
Not long before I know when to run
♪
Without you I am all I could ever be
Is it sad enough for you now?
'Cause you know better than me
That I escaped disaster
Not gonna do what I always do
'Cause I wanna live by this song
Just need time to learn the poetry
And I will take it with me
When I go I'll know how to walk away
When I go I know it'll be easy
'Til then I'm in the hollows again
Not long before I know when to run
Know how to gain on my shadow
Know how to outrun the world
I won't be returning today
Won't be returning tomorrow
I'll just be turning away
I'm ready to feel the sun on my shoulders
Watch the water fill my footprints in the sand
Just watch me, just watch me go
Not gonna do what I always do
'Cause I wanna to live by this song
Took my time to learn the balladry
And I will take it with me
