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

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

When I grow up I'll never be like you

When I grow up I'll never be like you

Like you

Cause I watched you walk away

I still don't know why

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

Wish you'd seen the mess that you made

Wish you'd seen the mess that you made

With your clean getaway
