I’m going to let you let me
Fade away
I understand your dream now
You running on the tracks
Me running beside you
And you waking up
To an empty bed
With a sense of loss
I’m going to let you let me
Fade away
I was never actually beside you
Which is where I wanted to be
I was chasing after you
You had no room for me
On your pinpoint destination
With constricted ideas of
What it means to travel
Always shutting me out
Going solo
I’m going to let you let me
Fade away
Until I was exhausted
Out of breath
Unable to bear the excruciating loneliness
The deep aching emptiness
That I felt with you
And so I stopped running
And then you work up
And noticed
But it was too late
I’m going to let you let me
Fade away
