Go Away

Once inside the door I check my face in the mirror
As I look past this lonely minute
Was this the ride worth waiting for?
I'm scared to death
That now I've missed it
But she was not the only stone
Skipped across this gravel road
Leading down the path of loneliness
So I'll fly from this hate
Pray my soul the Lord will take me
To a place through time and indifference

(chorus)
I wanna know
How do you feel?
I wanna know
If this was real
Now tell me what would you say
If you can make this pain go away

She plans her future
Looking bright ahead
Leaves me in the past
I can't stand to hang out with my codependent friends
My patience is fading fast
But every sign and every song
Is telling me that I don't belong
But it's O.K. to feel scared
'Cause one day soon I'll find myself
And realize that no one else
Will make me feel stupid

(chorus)

There's this old man
Down in Fell's Point
Always hanging around
Telling me, "Son,
The pendulum swings both ways
But for you
It'll always swing down"

(chorus)
