I have closed your door
I've marked out the creaks in the floor
I have so much I could say
but I wanna slip away
so I'll wait til youre asleep
you have kept me inside
like a still life caught
in a buzzing beehive
go on now close your eyes
blink and you'll miss me
I've made up my mind
I just wanted to be somewhere else
for a while
I was looking for a little bit more
but now I've been away so long
I don't remember what I'm looking for
there were times I was sure
I'd travelled too far to look behind anymore
and if our chances are bleak
I'm only so brave I'll make my moves while
you sleep
I just wanted to be somewhere else
for a while
I was looking for a little bit more
but now I've been away so long
I don't remember what I'm looking for
because I made my plans for the rest
of my days
I made my plans for every day
and I made my plans for yesterday
