I Always Need A Break

You're packed up in a tiny case

When I come you'll have gone away

Your special friends need you today

And I always need a break

I'm wishing it away

And you wait for me to say

"Sometimes I wish that I'd stayed"

If I talk

I'm just whispering

And if I move

I'm just dodging wheels

A stone statue as we drive

Can you tell that I'm alive?

That there's something underneath

Something that you can barely see?

I'd choose the books that you'd ignore

About the fantasies and wars

Our memories they're all worn

If I talk

I'm just whispering

(So you won't even know)

And if I move

I'm just dodging wheels

(Out on the road)

You're a precious flower and you burn in the sun and

I'm running around just to keep you fresh and

They all say you're pretty strong and

I'm not ready to see it yet

You're a precious flower and you burn in the sun and

I'm running around just to keep you fresh and

They all say you're pretty strong and

I'm not ready to see it

Yet

If I talk

I'm just whispering

(So you won't even know)

And if I move

I'm just dodging wheels

(Out on the road)

You're packed up in a tiny case

When I come you'll have gone away

Your special friends need you today

And I always need a break
