Weekend Away

Tunng

Wander through the wreckage
Of the dancing flaws
Faces turn in the light
A stranger on the brink of love, love
Confusion, near delight

A cup of something warm
In the dead of night
We're friends in need, indeed
Lies that only flatter love, love
They whisper until we bleed

Burning blindly like the sun
Our hearts beat in rhythm all alone
All our wishes are undone
Forget those days, they've gone

Piling in the back at the end of it all
We're friends in need, indeed
Lies that only flatter love, love
They whisper until we bleed

Drifting into days
When all is said and done
In blue, yellow and grey
Stuck inside your head
Are all those names gone by
You're desperate to get away

Burning blindly like the sun
Our hearts beat in rhythm all alone
All our wishes are undone
Forget those days, they've gone

And it's only a weekend away
It's only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It's only a weekend away

And it's only a weekend away
It's only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It's only a weekend away

And it's only a weekend away
And it's only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It's only a weekend away

And it's only a weekend away
And it's only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It's only a weekend away

And it's only a weekend away
It's only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It's only a weekend away

I carried you away
And no one saw you leave
I placed you in my pocket for safe keeping
A miniaturized version of you

And I will wear my halo in the sun
So no one sees me cheating
Well, I didn't mean to see
To shipwreck you with me

And now our poisoned pirate ship is broken
And shards of wood and glass turn into ocean
Rocks on top of rocks are in my view
They leave my mouth wide open

Salty water wash me
Salty water wash me

Like concrete turns you right
Steel turns me on
Metal doors will close and they will open
Don't step on factory floors you will fall down

Compartments allows you in my mind
Like boxes on a slip line
And I will wear my halo in the sun
So no one sees me cheating

Salty water wash me
Salty water wash me
