Slip my arms so the pillow holds shape
Slip out the window and slip down the fire escape
Make a clean getaway
I'll leave no trace
Brought the letters on the road with me
In the middle of plainclothes and piracy
When everyone wants you
That's the loneliest place to be
I fall asleep to the rhythm of you
Breathing in my ear
Are you hearing what I'm saying
Or tonight am I just baying with the wolves
Make a pact so we'll both get there
But it never holds up cause we can't get out of Delaware
So far away from this home town affair
You like to paint me as your little lost one
But i, I get the feeling I'm never going to make it to Boston
So I must do different than what I must have done
And I fall asleep to the rhythm of you
Breathing in my ear
Are you hearing what I'm saying
Or tonight am I just baying with the wolves
Telephone call says they're backing me up
Thirsty for the pitcher drinking from a paper cup
Building the oblivious from nothing more than luck
They opened up a place for me
They're closing off another window of opportunity
I had forgotten I'd do this all for free
And I fall asleep to the rhythm of you
Breathing in my ear
Are you hearing what I'm saying
Or tonight am I just baying with the wolves
