You tell me
It's seven in the morning
Time to wake up, it's
Time to wake up
But you don't know if you can
And you try anyways
You try anyways
You walk outside in your underwear
Get the paper off the porch before you
Climb back in bed
You tell me
I can't go in to work today
I'll call in sick, and we can
Pack up my car
We'll head off anyway you like
We'll go
Far away from here, so
Far away from here
And we'll never look back again
We'll never come back again
We'll leave the past behind
We'll leave our lives behind
Leave everything, everyone
In our dust
Find someplace new
We'll start over again
Start all over again
With a new life, new names
Be someone we don't know
Someone they never knew
Maybe someday we'll come back
When no one remembers our names
Our face
When they don't know who we are
And we'll tell them
All about the time, we
Used to be someone else
How they knew us so very well
In a life long past
A long long time ago
And we'll laugh and joke and speak
Of all the time we shared
They'll ask us why we left
They'll ask us where we've been
And we'll tell them
You just couldn't go to work that day |
