Hideaways

Then came the sound of a perfect way out

Before the walls get to close and the ceiling falls down

I'll find excuses for my actions because i know better

And rob myself of joy, always and forever

The only way to calm my nerves so i can begin again

Is to close my door and listen close at 45rpm

And with a breath i say take me home

And when it ends i am left alone

I walk with both arms to my side

But in my mind they're both spread wide

I'm not looking for a warm embrace

I'm really asking why?

With both arms open, hands to fingers

My eyes are open but the truth still lingers

You can't expect to understand love

When you admire lonely singers
