If you want to stay here I’ll run to find the quickest way out
I’m sure I’ll find it soon
Hey, smile at me as if you don’t think
I put the price on my own head
I just need to put some business to rest while I am gone
I’ll be back before you know that I’ve left
And my hands will be clean again

Through your eyes you see
The same boy who can’t remember where he’s been
You’ve told him a thousand times
That this can never leave the same taste
Of anything compared to romance
A simple kiss without the need to dance
Between the paper sheets
And the sweat that beads on your neck
You’re getting dirty from breathing her breath

When you lay down, does it keep?
Or does the hurt go away when you sleep?
'Cause I am the one that is kneeling
Won’t you come back to me?
