The way you kissed me this morning

It told me that you would soon be going

You didn't even look in my eye

When you said goodbye



And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises

That I knew you would not keep

Now I'm reading the letter that you placed on the dresser

And you're five hundred miles down the road



Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be erased

But distance only loses the knife

The pattern of its scars

Can always be traced



Yeah, I remember when we said forever

Was the craziest word that we knew

But I think that I like it much better than I do goodbye



And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons

Why you're not by my side

Instead I'll go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in

And drink myself far far away



Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be erased

But distance only loses the knife

The pattern of its scars can always be traced
