Straight Aways to Get Away

I peel back the staples

I’m leaving a space where your frame used to hang

I’m leaving holes in the wall and holes in my heart

now let’s begin at forgetting and we’ll end at forgotten

I’ll be forgotten as soon as you let go...let go

seeing you today was like losing you all over again

I know I said I wouldn’t ask but does it have to be this way?

empty the locket and throw it beneath the bed

along with the things you wish you could forget

I swear I’m under there somewhere

now let’s begin at forgetting and end at forgotten

I’ll be forgotten as soon as you let go...let go

I’ll forget just to stay alive

and God’s plan winds but his faithfulness is at every bend

and straightaway to get away from reality

reality without you
