Clean Getaway - Poema

It happened in an instant

The midnight voices got through

You were feeling fenced in

You grabbed a change of clothes and your best shoes

Did you even pack a single photograph of me

One little memory

You thought it would be easy

Maybe it was for you

I watched you walk away

I still don’t know why

I guess you were running

And from my windowpane I started to cry

And if there’s a single sound I’ll never forget

It’s your engine rumbling

Wish you’d seen the mess that you made

With your clean getaway

Standing in the hallway

I hear the echo of your footsteps

Blue eyes and your last name

Are the only things that you left

Are we still a family, did you ever love me

Were you ever happy

Doubt I’ll ever know

Hope you find what you’re looking for

When I grow up, I’ll never be like you

When I grow up, I’ll never be like you, like you

Down Chorus

Cause I watched you walk away, I still don’t know why

And from my windowpane I started to cry
