I left home when I was 17Just to see if the grass was really green4 years deep of things left behindbut you know I’ve got it all still on my mind
Bet you’ve already heard a song like thisOne that ends in that perfect farewell kissBut I won’t play that same old gameNot that flawless role we all seem to wanna play
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I love you now that you want me toAnd that’s not something I usually doDigging up the roots of this old oak treeIs just a little harder than I thought it’d be
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I gave you the key to let yourself inTo that secret place nobody’s ever beenYou peaked your head inside and looked aroundI can only hope you won’t let me down
I don’t know if you seeJust how much you mean to meSo let me know what you findIn this sheltered heart of mine
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame

I donʼt really know what it is Iʼm supposed to do

My friends they go quiet when conversation turns to you

They said I should go out and just find somebody new

Thatʼs just their point of view
But

Iʼd rather just wait on you




We go up and we go down like lovers often do

Sometimes itʼs bliss

Sometimes itʼs blue

People like to comment but they just donʼt have a clue

Thatʼs just their point of view

But Iʼd rather just wait on you

I don't know why

We're wasting time

You're all I need

Come away with me

When your eyes

Mirror mine

Make me believe

(You'll) Run away with me

It's not too late

(For a) simple escape

How it could be

Come away with me
