I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me

Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light

With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made

And chops it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake



And there are no tears

Just pity and fear

No vast ravine

Right in between



A storm at sea the bow cracked and I was capsizing

And I sunk below where I swore I would never go

If you can't stand in place you can't tell there's walking away

From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays



And there are no tears

Just pity and fear

No vast ravine

Right in between



Spare no tears

Just pity and fear

And I recall

The push more than the fall

The push more than the fall
