lyrics

Can you just hear me out, she said
We’ve got a lot to talk about here
I’ve been wanting to have this face to face
So let’s start by saying this is open space and judgment free

I took a job in Chicago, she said
And a few things come to mind
First, I was never in love with you
And the past few months I’ve been seeing someone whom we both know

Back up, what did you say? He said.
Not down with judgement free
It’s one thing to feel emotions drift but
I can’t bear to think you’ve been hiding this from me

Room is spinning round
Maroon flushes skin
Shoes mark the floor
Run away

Rather loved than have lost, they say
Just live and let fly
He plows through crowds in the DC streets
To the spot on Florida Avenue for a bit

I’ll take a shot of Chicago, he said
Dance with Florida hurricane a bit
Hours turn to months hath lapsed
Still in the cellar of the express house
with an easy pass to the grave

And the room is spinning round
Pale chills flush his skin
Sweat drenched cotton sheets
Fade away

Sun fades to dusk
In the Florida summer
The brisk of the evening ignites new meaning
A runner becomes a fighter
Who won’t fly along side a liar

The room stops spinning round
Peace comes rushing in
A step into the wind
Fly away
