lyrics
there's songs that came on as
we drove on through dusk that
with nighttime brought calmness
and we felt more honest
to mention our uneasiness and what we used to love
we'd offer up the places where we used to feel alone
I've had plans to get away
but I'd rather be denied
than to get away
when that comfort is a lie
on through my hometown
we'll see what comes on now
and I won't rush to say when
or tell you that I've been
haunted by the fate of who I claimed I never was
and all of this was heavy 'till you called in from the road
I've had plans to get away
but I'd rather be denied
than to get away
when that comfort is a lie
I won't try to runaway
but my god are things awry
I won't sit and wait
for the dark that comes at night
all of it came at once
the cold breeze of the pleasure and the pain
I'll find a place I want, a state I want
that nothing can erase
I've had plans to get away
but I'd rather be denied
than to get away
when that comfort is a lie
