escape

Don't take me home tonight
let me close my eyes while you drive
i'll tell you a story
about the world 
and we'll let the waves
wash over the radio
i'll tell you my secrets
in the language that i love
and you'll laugh at me and wonder
where you caught this wild thing
what wind left me here in your hands
lets take the sand grain by grain
we'll give them their own names
and send them sliding down our legs
to anchor our feet in slick pyramids 
let the weight hold us here
caught and captured and content
don't drive me home tonight
lets close our eyes and wait for daylight
to find us stretched out on the shore
just hold my hand and i'll ask for nothing more
from the world
