lyrics
The sun at dawn
took for what seemed like
forever to come,
hours wide awake
hoping not to pass out
and wake up from an alarm
And for a second, our packed bags
didn’t seem like a huge mess,
lost in the panic
of forgetting everything,
you can imagine the strain
we put on every little thing
Lower yourself down slowly
Take deep breaths
Focus on a memory
It doesn’t matter what it is
Days turned to nights,
waiting for some kind of news
Restless feet paced around the room
Watching hands of the clock
As if they had stopped
Anxious eyes caught a flash of light,
then faded to black
Lower yourself down slowly
Take deep breaths
Focus on a memory
It doesn’t matter what it is
Muffled voices in a crowded room
Was I dreaming or drifting away?
Muffled voices in a crowded room
I could feel pain in the back of my head
Was I dreaming or drifting away?
“Take care, slow down, easy does it” they said
Away
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
took for what seemed like
forever to come,
hours wide awake
hoping not to pass out
and wake up from an alarm
And for a second, our packed bags
didn’t seem like a huge mess,
lost in the panic
of forgetting everything,
you can imagine the strain
we put on every little thing
Lower yourself down slowly
Take deep breaths
Focus on a memory
It doesn’t matter what it is
Days turned to nights,
waiting for some kind of news
Restless feet paced around the room
Watching hands of the clock
As if they had stopped
Anxious eyes caught a flash of light,
then faded to black
Lower yourself down slowly
Take deep breaths
Focus on a memory
It doesn’t matter what it is
Muffled voices in a crowded room
Was I dreaming or drifting away?
Muffled voices in a crowded room
I could feel pain in the back of my head
Was I dreaming or drifting away?
“Take care, slow down, easy does it” they said
Away
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
I’m floating away
