Sometimes the truth burns<br>
And sometimes it sings;<br>
Yet nobody yearns<br>
for what the truth brings.<br><br>

I know how that feels,<br>
I know what that's like;<br>
I'd swallowed ideals<br>
that I've come to dislike.<br><br>

I've listened to liars,<br>
I've walked down those ways,<br>
I've stood beside fires<br>
just to scream at the blaze.<br>
<br>
I just want to be near you,<br>
I don't care what they say;<br>
We're long overdue<br>
For our long run-away.<br><br>

My heart's fit to burst<br>
and I still cry at night;<br>
I just feel like I'm cursed<br>
to stay out of the light.<br><br>

So I'll dance with the moon<br>
And play pool with the stars;<br>
I'll wrestle them soon<br>
and we'll trade battlescars.<br><br>

'Cause when life is too bleak<br>
and I've taken my leave<br>
'cause I think I'm too weak<br>
I think they might believe<br>

that your voice is the cause<br>
of my constant daydreams;<br>
Put my tears all on pause,<br>
Rip my heart at the seams<br>
'Cause damn it, I love you.
