sweet escape.

i spend nights waiting for someone to take me away.
far, far away from here.
i know someone will take me there.
take me there without confusion.
we don't have to rush; we can take our time, its just us..
where we're going, the weather is always wonderful.
the temperature never goes too low or gets to hot.
it's always warm. every other day it rains, but who cares?
it's always light and refreshing. we need the water to survive.
there's always some entertainment, and it's not just my life...
i know someone will take me there.
smiles all around in this beautiful place.
flowers never die, pollen never bothers anyone.
there are no muddy waters, only clear and crisp.
the goodness is boundless, i tell you, i can only imagine.
no one complains, there is no disdain...
i know someone will take me there.
the moon rises and the sun falls,
and we see them both each time.
i can't wait for you to take me there.
didn't you know these clear skies were in your eyes?
this beautiful place, it is your face.
when will be the day that you come to take me away?
(the world may never know.)
so patiently i wait until the day you hold me close,
tell me that i mean the most,
look me in my eyes and say
"you and i are the only way."
the only way to live; the only way to be;
we are the only future we can see.
...and then i woke up, to find that you were just me.
the touch i felt, the things i saw
were all in my mind. my sub-conscious brain made me feel shock and awe.
but i am not us, and we are not me...
those are both plural, things i could never be.
so i guess i just have to continue to hope and pray
and wish for the day
that someone will come for me.

i spend nights waiting for someone to take me away.
far, far away from here.
i know someone will take me there.
but until then, i'll have to make due with just me.
the weather isn't ideal,
and the place is ever so close by.
so i close my eyes, hold myself tight,
and continue to hope for the night when someone will take me away...
far, far away from here.
