Once for a while
I was by your side
Standing so close
But we did not smile
I saw you lose control
I saw your system overload

Go away, away, away

In the shadow of that night
We cried
Like two lost cars
With crashing lights

Once for a while
I was next to you
You looked away
Though you did not move
I wished to hold you near
I tried to reach you inner ear

Stay away, away, away

In the silence of that night
We tried
To break the seal to what's inside
Like strangers on familiar land
We navigate
But can't understand

Now I'm awake
I can see behind
You were afraid
I was paralyzed
I saw you round the bend
And knew the way that it would end
I wished to hold you near
And cheat the fates of what was clear

Stay away, away, away
