Rather
When I close my eyes I see
Your knuckles and your knees
I see you everywhere
On the license plate in the car in front of me
On the signs and on the street
And on the TV
I’d rather walk to the moon and back
Than keep picking up your slack
I’d rather walk to the bottom of the sea
Than wait for you to really love me
Chorus
I’d rather never see you again
I never want to see you again.
I gotta get you out of my system.
I never want to hear from you again
I gotta get you out of my system.
When I close my eyes I see
The way you used to look at me
I see you in my dreams
That’s how I know you still think of me
I’d rather walk across the ocean floor
With an anchor chained to my ankle
I’d rather face the dark side of the moon
Than a lifetime chained to you
Chorus
When I close my eyes I see
15 years between you and me
We’ve changed and yet the past is still the same
And our love is still my shame
I’d rather fill my lungs with the salty sea
Than taste one more tear from you to me
I’d rather wipe my memory clean
Than keep anything that you give to me
Chorus
When I close my eyes I see
What could have been between you and me
I see our children growing old
And your heart staying just as cold
I’d rather kill what could have been
Than face your walled off eyes again
I’d rather snuff the fire in the dark
Than live a love without a spark
Chorus
