How To Get Away

Dear I promise you'll do better

When you sign along the dotted line

You'll find no terrors int he margins

Clear as day, how to get away

And I wouldn't trade the years we spent in stillness

I'm still on my feet only because you kept me from leaping

I'm holding out hope you'll find your eyes upon a new day

But all I can give you is how to get away

One more year would be so easy

Not a care, and nothing we would dare

Then one year on we'd be the same kids

Going gray for the ones that got away

And I wouldn't trade our peaceful, paltry heaven

It kept my head straight, knowing we'd never have to grow

But ages ago, I started waiting for today

Now I've nothing to give you but how to get away

I'm holding out hope you'll find your eyes upon a new day

But all I can give you is how to get away
