Away

       Life's such a mystery to me
      So much I don't understand
      So scared to go forward
      Without you holding my hand
      I am much more scared of living
      Than I will ever be to die
      Press your body softly against mine
      So together we may fly
      Away...

      You are on my mind my love
      As I face the thundering skies
      The freedom of rain soaks through me
      As I shield the lightning from my eyes
      And I'm searching the skies for a break in the clouds
      Baby I'm searching for the sun
      Come wrap your arms around me
      So together we may run
      Away...

      It's like I never have not known you
      Because you have always been inside
      Like some lighthouse on the horizon
      You have always been my guide
      And the ocean, it's a vast one
      And I will cross it without fail
      Entwine your legs around mine
      So together we may sail
      Away...

      Some nights I feel you touch me
      When the day has ceased to live
      I feel your breath upon my neck
      You have so much love to give
      I know it gets hard for you sometimes
      At that place where you reside
      Brush your lips against mine gently
      So together we may ride
      Away...

      A flower in the spring time
      Is the place we are right now
      We are blooming into something
      That words can't describe somehow
      I don't need no super hero
      In a jumpsuit and a cape
      Just run your fingers through my hair
      So together we may escape
      Away...

      The masks have all been sold now
      We have stripped each other bare
      When we faced each other naked
      We liked what we saw there
      So many words have passed between us
      Through each and every open door
      Dig your fingernails into my back
      So together we may soar
      Away...

      You know the world 's becoming crazy
      I see it more and more each day
      And each moment we are parted
      A little more erodes away
      I don't know how long I'll live for
      I just know I need you to survive
      Place your sweet soft kisses upon my neck
      So together we may drive
      Away...

      I was never one for destiny
      Thought you just reaped the things you sewed
      You know I never even realized
      That I was always on this road
      But the road is finally ending
      And soon we'll both be freed
      Whisper that you will love me always
      So together we may speed
      Away...
