Nothing There

(album: Too Afraid To Say It - 2017)

Run, little girl, you're
Out of time
There's no one to whisper goodbye to today
Pack up all the things that can fit
In a locket
And ride the next train away
Ooh, ooh

Get off at the last station and run
To the night
That the sidewalk throws upon the blinding water
Let the moon blind your senses
Until the dawn comes, lower defenses
And breathe in that black and blue sky

If I were you then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no one lives
Where every day my misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin

You'll never get away
There's an old takeaway
Caught as you try to justify
It'll never make sense
Ignore your heart
It's the only way to start growing
Foundations of stone cold [?]

If I were you then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no one lives
Where every day my misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin

March on
To the battlefield you can't win
Thorny ropes
Tied around your shins
As you kneel down and say
"Forgiven is something I can't be"
Let the curtain fall and see me as I
Truly am

If I were you then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no one lives
Where every day my misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live

Look as long as you live
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin
