"Salva" lyrics

There ain't no place I'd rather be
But I've gotta go
I've gotta run away
I'll carry my heart down to the sea
And let the salt dissolve it

These things happen now
We stray into ruin
Even when all of the signs ahead
Say, "What are you doing?"

Staring at my shaking hands
Now that I know for real
There's somebody else in those eyes
Someone who's scaring me
I'm already dead to you
So put down the knife
I think you've made enough scars
With words of barbed wire

There ain't no place I'd rather be
But I've gotta go
I've gotta run away

Don't wait when I'm gone
I'm not coming home
Say a few words at the funeral
'Cause we were close
Closer than I've ever known
Remember how it felt safe
How can I feel that safe?
Now that I know

There ain't no place I'd rather be
But I've gotta go
I've gotta run away
I'll carry my heart down to the sea
And let the salt dissolve it

Why do we need to heal so slow?
Maybe there's somewhere new that we can go
I'd run for miles if you promise me there's a better way
I'd run for miles

There ain't no place I'd rather be
But I've gotta go
I've gotta run away
I'll carry my heart down to the sea
And let the salt dissolve it

Let the sea wash away
Everything so I can begin to breathe
Filling my lungs
Ready to run for miles and miles and miles

Let the sea wash away
Everything so I can begin to breathe
Filling my lungs
Ready to run for miles and miles and miles
