lyrics

Always walk away

It doesn't matter where you are
you can always walk away
you're never in that far
you can always walk away
You want to make amends
with your family and your friends
but everything depends
on how it bends, it bends, it bends
while the moon shines down from the deepest black
on the weedy ditch and the long dirt track
on your sad landscape and your solitary back
you can't make up for all you lack

Every step is a second mile
and you tell yourself it's ok
if you don't want to reconcile
you can always walk away
It's a blessing you can prepare
you compel yourself to care
nothing is too much to bear
there's nothing even there, there's nothing there
but an incoherent heart where dark winds blow
through your dreams of flowers and your dreams of snow
in your stagnant town where resentments grow
but you just can't bring yourself to go

Oooooh, oh, oh
you can always walk away
oooooh, oh, oh
you can always walk away
There's nothing there, there's nothing
you can always walk away
there's nothing there, there's nothing there
but you can always walk away
alone, alone, alone, alone
