Runaway II

(album: The Mother, The Mechanic, And The Path - 2006)

Alright, now just take one good look at me,
'Cause it's the last you'll ever see tonight, I'm leaving this house.
And just think about it, you'll never have to see
The kid you didn't want from the beginning of my life. (so thanks.)
And the air will be better,
It will feel much thinner.
It will feel much smoother.
And you, you go back to forgetting your son.

And I'm going to run away with my baby,
Get married and maybe someday we'll have kids that you'll never meet.
And I'm gonna tell them stories of how the grandpop abandoned the only son he had. (thanks dad.)
And see the air will be better,
It will feel much thinner.
It will feel like heaven.
It will feel so good when I am gone.
Oh, I'm gone...

Now see, I don't know what you think, you're just a kid.
Only 18, where do you plan on going?
And see, you won't have no ground to stand on,
You won't have a better place to live
And you'll be missing the comfort of this place.
See, the air will be thicker,
It will be hard to breathe sometimes.
You won't know what hit you,
You'll be scared and miss home before you know it.

Now, don't go make a decision that's going to leave your life down a collision course of failure.
But you're a grown up now, you're 18.
So please reconsider everything that you've been thinking
And open your eyes.
See, the air will be humid,
It will give you headaches.
It will make you sweat.
It will be a mistake if you go.
Oh, but I can't stop you anymore.

Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
I won't trouble you anymore.
And I don't need this in my life,
I don't need it anymore.
Dad, I'm leaving tonight,
I won't trouble you anymore.
And I don't need this in my life,
I don't need it anymore.
Goodbye.
