I swear, I'm not trying to run away
From all the trouble that I made
I just need a little break every now and then
I know it isn't fair to leave like this
To leave you hanging on a kiss
That just won't come, no matter how I try
But when I am gone and gone to dirt
Will you hold on to every hurt
Every stain upon my shirt
And when they turn me over to the ground
If there's no one to make a sound
The roses scattered all around
Will you be there to lay me down
I've learned a tightrope has no room for two
Even with all we've been through
There's just no way we're gonna land on our feet this time
So go far, go east where the trade winds blew
Where the mystics all move through you
The push and pull will pull you past it in your own time
But when I look back on us that day
I see your smile start to fade
Something I never thought I'd say
So when I am gone and gone to dirt
Will you hold on to every hurt
Every whisper you ever heard
Will you remember what we were
