Look Away Lyrics

This time we run
This time we hide
This time we draw
On all the fire we have insideWe need some time
To find a place
Where I can wipe away
The madness from your faceOur name is out
Our name is known
Our name is everywhere
But who knows where we're flownI never meant
To kill a man
But I will show you
How to live like no one canSo look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land
Where I lie coldLook away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That were toldLook away, look away
From the love that I hide

Way down deep in my soulI met you wild
In a snowed up town
When I was waiting tied
And bound to be sent downThen I broke loose
You weren't around
So I raised banks
And trains until I tracked you downNow look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land
Where I lie coldLook away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That were toldLook away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soulYou followed me
When I said no
You lay with me when there was
Nowhere safe to goWe made some friends
But now it's done
I always knew that we would
Never find the sunSo look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land
Where I lie coldLook away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That were toldLook away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soulNow look away, look away
Hide your eyes from the land
Where I lie coldLook away, look away
From the lies in the stories
That were toldLook away, look away
From the love that I hide
Way down deep in my soul
