touch my face for me
so I know I’m breathing
my head needs a pillow
and my legs are leaning
on the window sill
a glimpse is bleeding
it’s hard to hold still
when the road is screaming
“leave here, leave here”
kiss my mouth
so I can be sure I’m feeling
my notebook’s empty
and the pages are peeling
my eyes are dry
my heart’s not healing
I can’t deny
I’ve been scheming
to leave here, leave here
take my hand
watch me leave
I swear
I need to leave
take my hand
watch me go
I understand
the road is low
whisper at me
so I know I can hear
everything sounds so similar
nothing is clear
when it’s said and done
I’ll be home again
when it’s said and done
I will have finished my plan
to leave here, leave here
