One of us is gonna be here and 

One of us is gonna be running 

Off alone into the great unknown 

You're not me, you're a model of freedom 

All you need are your kicks when you need 'em 

Come and go, caught that slow alright 



With one hand off the side 

We get farther away in the blink of an eye 



And it's the time we waste 

Swallowed into space 

It's the time it takes to blow away 

To blow away 

To blow away 



Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving, 

Say what you want, what you say, say anything 

No one knows just how deep it goes 

We are old in your teenaged tyranny 

And all you need is a hunger to feed 

I've got my own secrets though, say what? 



With a heart full of mess and lore 

We are doomed but we wanted more 



It's the ride we take 

The many winged escape 

It's the bough we break to blow away 

To blow away 

And we blow away 



One of us is now retreating 

You knocked me down so hard I'm seeing a thousand stars 

Come out where you are 

'cause I won't ever be caught crying 

And I will not be taken lying down 

It blows into smoke 



The time we waste 

Swallowed into space 

It's the time it takes to blow 

It's the ride we take 



The many winged escape 

It's the bough we break to blow away 

To blow away 

It's the times we say that no one's gonna take your place 

It's a mistake to blow away 

To blow away 

We blow away
