He Let Me Get Away

I stood in the street as you drove right through me
Held my hand up to make you stop
But you only saw the twisted lights
Against the black back drop

I tried to find you in your lonely, white bedroom
Followed your scent into the bed
But your body faced the other way
Pretending to be dead

I stood in your shower as you washed off the day
Wrapped my arms around you tight
But you only felt the water, cool
And not my heart ignite

I'll stay until you tell me to go and we can hit this road at 3
Just know that I am here for you so you can break apart on me

I sat by your car under the tree where you park
Waited for you to pick me up
But you climbed inside your vehicle
And drove off in a rush

I sat in the back seat so my reflection showed
Sang your song in whispers, deep
But you played your music louder
And I watched me drown in weeps

I stood in the runway as you stood behind glass
Watched the airplanes take their flight
But you thought of me inside the plane
And wished that you could fly

I'll stay until you tell me to go and we can hit this road at 3
Just know that I am here for you so you can break apart on me

I'll stay until you tell me to leave and we can catch a ride for free
Just know that I am here for you so you can cry upon my knee

I'll stay until you tell me good-bye and we can run away or flea
Just know that I am here for you so you can fall apart on me
