Lyrics

I hope to be somewhere nobody knows me
Your stare's still branded on my neck like a pony
I was nothing more than the limerent
You never should have had
Water falls in my left side mirror
I'm still scared of the looking back
You always said that I cried so pretty
Would you watch me burn out like that?

I was too far from town for the siren in the morning
Spent two years on you rugged and overwhelming
And I bruised myself on your thicket blue
in the shape of your heavy arm
Woke up not knowing how I did it,
but you weren't very far
You always asked me, what I think I might have done wrong
It was letting you in for so long

Thought I'd never water you down
You've lingered on my coat collar like smoke I can't wash out
Distance is a kind healer, I made it to higher ground
Still I hear you on the wind saying
Look what you did, are you happy now?

I hope to be somewhere where somebody knows me
To be held untamed will be my glory
