away from home

"That sinking feeling, so strawberry sweet
Summers gone by, and left me with cold feet
Sandals in autumn pinken my toes
Chill me so warmly, like nobody knows

Holding your hand, our fingers like spiders
Hiding my smile so you’ll guess what’s inside her
Keeping real quiet so nobody hears
Thoughts of the daybreak, those young lover fears

When it hurts, baby run away
Off to the city streets to play
And if it’s hard, baby you’re okay
It won’t be forever, no just for today

Carving out cardboard homes for the weak
Roses and lilacs held up to my cheek
One man’s trash, another’s is gold
Baby, you gotta last for your story to be told

When it hurts, baby run away
Off to the city streets to play
And if it’s hard, baby you’re okay
It won’t be forever, no just for today

Smile for me, my ticket is yours
Train’s heading out with half-opened doors
When it hurts, you’re lost and found
Home is always all around

When it hurts, baby run away
Off to the city streets to play
And if it’s hard, baby you’re okay
It won’t be forever, no just for today

When it hurts, baby run away
Off to the city streets to play
And if it’s hard, baby you’re okay
It won’t be forever, no just for today

That sinking feeling, so strawberry sweet
Summers gone by, and left me with cold feet
Sock-feet in winter, isn’t it strange
I get some coins but I never get change"

sometimes i like to write a song
and pretend other people will hear it

and oh the songs they'd hear.
