There ain't no place I'd rather be But I've gotta go I've gotta run away I'll carry my heart down to the sea And let the salt dissolve it These things happen now We stray into ruin Even when all of the signs ahead Say, What are you doing? Staring at my shaking hands Now that I know for real There's somebody else in those eyes Someone who's scaring me I'm already dead to you So put down the knife I think you've made enough scars With words of barbed wire There ain't no place I'd rather be But I've gotta go I've gotta run away Don't wait when I'm gone I'm not coming home Say a few words at the funeral Cause we were close Closer than I've ever known Remember how it felt safe How can I feel that safe? Now that I know There ain't no place I'd rather be But I've gotta go I've gotta run away I'll carry my heart down to the sea And let the salt dissolve it Why do we need to heal so slow? Maybe there's somewhere new that we can go I'd run for miles if you promise me there's a better way I'd run for miles There ain't no place I'd rather be But I've gotta go I've gotta run away I'll carry my heart down to the sea And let the salt dissolve it Let the sea wash away Everything so I can begin to breathe Filling my lungs Ready to run for miles and miles and miles Let the sea wash away Everything so I can begin to breathe Filling my lungs Ready to run for miles and miles and miles
