Tell Me

Breath chasing breath
Our steps start locking
There’s no time for talking
No time for talking
They’ll track us down if they see you got away
Right pacing left
Backroads to walk
If we just reach the crossing
Must reach the crossing
Before this county sees the light of day
I know the sight of things at war within your head
Will the victor be the passion or the name that you’ve abandoned?
But maybe I’ll help you lighten up the load that’s on your head
I’ll be patient. I’ll be steady
I’ll be waiting. I’m already saying
«Tell me what you want me to be.»
Breath chasing breath
There’s no time for talking
Our heartbeats are knocking
Heartbeats are knocking
By now, they’ll all have heard you got away
Life pacing death
Backroads clocking
Just passed the crossing
Rushed past the crossing
We can’t turn back‚ no matter what they say
I hear the clatter of their calls within your head
«He's a villain!»
«You're a baby!»
«Are you happy?»
«Is he crazy?»
But maybe I’ll lean a ladder up the walls within in your head
Put the old world in the rearview
I’m riding right here with you‚ saying
«Tell me what you want me to be.»
