Lyrics
Laid in bed
Eyes tight shut
Pounding in my head
I feel the poison in my guts
It is cruel
But I don’t cry
I just focus on the even breath
Of love that’s at my side
And I imagine a day
Where I can fly away
Time is a hallway
Death is a door
Got a keyhole in my chest
And I’m not ready for this
Trying to smile
Under the knife
And all of the while
You are saving my life
I don’t like to talk about the hard stuff
I don’t want to put this all on you
So I whisper to the wraith I’m fading into
That she’s strong enough to always make it through
(And then I force myself to buy that that is true)
But I imagine a day
Where I can fly away
Time is a hallway
Life is a door
Got a grenade in my chest
And I’m not ready for this
Facing the trial
Edge of a knife
And all of the while
You are saving my life
Saving my life
Now she’s singing about astral projection
What if we could float right out of our skin
Just for a little while, some deflection
From this headspace I’m drowning in
Love is a hallway
You are the door
And when all is said and done
You are the home I run toward
What doesn’t matter
Falls to the floor
We are here in this moment
I can’t ask for more
I want nothing more
We’ll fly away
Fly
Fly away
Fly
Fly away
We’ll fly away
Fly
Fly away
Fly
Fly away
