  • I wrote this song by a kitchen table
    Maybe it all seems okay
    Sometimes it's better just to laugh than to run away
    Maybe I'll leave you in the coming winter
    And all of your dreams soon fade away
    Sometimes it's better just to run than to play your game

    When we were laying down
    And you held my hand
    Amongst the opal flowers
    When we sat outside
    And now I see it's over now we just grew out of love

    Out from the darkness
    Your heartlessness haunt my future
    Down on all fours
    You bark bright at the descending moonlight

    You'll be with the rest of the lonely people
    Ones who live in a cold dark place
    Sometimes it's better just to run than to face the pain

    I've not been seeing you for some time now
    And still you choose to hold my hate
    But after how I handled it you're hardly to blame
    I feel you read my mind
    And look through my soul
    As our love grew fainter
    And your face grew wetter
    And I see it's over now
    We just grew out of love

    Out from the darkness
    Your heartlessness haunting my future
    Down on all fours
    You bark bright at the descending moon

    All of the rest of our days together
    I may have never seemed the same
    Sometimes there's nothing we can do when we all change

    And now my heart's in two
    Not a half for you
    Another situation
    Now the mornings golden
    And I see it's over now we just grew out of love

    Out from the darkness
    Your heartlessness haunting my future
    Down on all fours
    You bark bright at the descending moonlight Writer/s: Jake Edwin Kennedy
