I've got a clockwork heart.
It works just the same but it sets me apart
And it's running away
In the hope that it mends.
It left me a note, says it'll be back one day.
Away, away, away.
The world is just a box
Full of socks and pebbles and pennies and clocks
And I'm running away
It makes me feel better,
With the moon in my eyes and the stars in my hair.
Away, away, away.
We are but marble pawns
Waltzing through life as we cause ourselves harm
And I'm running away
With your scent on my sweater,
The wind at my back and wings on my heels.
Away, away, away.
Perhaps I'll be back in a while
With my clock-work heart and a pearl-button smile
But now I'm running away
It's only what's best
It's just like they said it would be.
Away, away, away.
