Kid With Matchsticks - Awol Lyrics

We rest in silence
Shut off from hurt
Back in the hideout where we shield us off from the world

But can't we lay like this forever
And fortify in sheltering arms?
Why can't we stay in here together?
Let's take a hammer to the clocks

And then we get out
Somewhere far from here
Leave it all behind
Run away from it all
I want to go AWOL

Too cold discussions
Meet warm embrace
And under covers we steal away from their gaze

Now can't we lay like this forever?
Can't we ride out the crossing stars?
Forever severed from the outside
We rip and stitch up our scars

And then we get out
Somewhere far from here
Leave it all behind
Run away from it all
I want to go AWOL
