Lets Get Away

I've been searching, trying to say Let's get away, let's get away But you're deserting, trying to stay Trying to stay, trying to stay It's time to go Swallow hesitation, dust discretion off your clothes Trying to find my way back to a place that I don't know But love, swear I can see it every time we touch A water dancer calmly sways Points to a land past Natchez-way A land where we're not yearning for These moments so far gone So, won't you go I don't want to travel down this road on my own What's the point of freedom if there's no one to hold Believe me, tell me is your doubting done so effortlessly, oh my No need to fantasize this I know that we can find it, baby It's driving me crazy, this holding back's insane, insane I've been searching, trying to say Let's get away, let's get away But you're deserting, trying to stay Trying to stay, trying to stay Now we're dashing past the floodlights All this tension and desire Two broken bodies, breaking wind and breathing fire Our feet beat on the pavement, our hearts beat overdrive Just as I think we'll make it, that's when you turn to me With such a subtle plead, eyes filled with salty beads And that's when I feel someone, not you or me That's lurking in the dark, you cry And I feel a strike, shouts of joy emerge from behind A hole to my side, you stare Gun in palm, so pale Is your conscious weighing on So why don't you let me see your face Why don't you let me see your eyes Deep in my eyes, you stare, your reflection bare Your fear was my demise I've been searching, trying to say Let's get away, let's get away But you're deserting, trying to stay Trying to stay, trying to stay
