Nothing There

Run little girl you're out of time
There's no one to whisper goodbye to today
Pack up all the things that can fit in a locket
And ride the next train away

Get off at the last station and run to the light
That the sidewalk throws upon the blinding water
Let the moon blind your senses
Until dawn comes, lower defenses
And breathe in that black and blue sky

If I were you, then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no lives
Where everyday your mind misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin

You'll never get away, there's no takeaway
Hard as you try to justify, It'll never make sense
Ignore your heart; It's the only way to start growing
Foundations of stone cold men

If I were you, then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no lives
Where everyday your mind misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin

March on
To a battlefield you can't win
Thorny ropes tied round your shins
As you kneel down and say
Forgiven
Is something I can't be
Let the curtain fall and see
Me as I truly am

If I were you, then I would dream
Of starlight and much brighter things
Than a town where no lives
Where everyday your mind misgives
You travel to a different place
You'll never fill that empty space
Look as long as you live
Look as long as you live
Look as long as you live
There was nothing there to begin
