Away

I have this burning in my veins
This urge to run away
Leave everything behind
Because I hurt so much
See I reason that
If I'm far away from here
Far away from everything
That reminds me of you
THat maybe I won't
Hurt as much as I do
But there are a few holes
In this theory of mine
You see, it doesn't matter
Where I am
Because I find your memory
Anywhere, everywhere
In a strangers' eyes
In a scent on the breeze
In a familiar melody
Playing on the radio
So it appears that I'm trapped
Wherever I may be
Because you still have me
In your hold
Though you may not know it
Somebody told me
That I'm mourning you
As if you were dead
Well, now that I think about it
That sounds about right
Because only a dead person
Could ever be this cold
