Clean Getaway

It happened in an instant The midnight voices got through You were feeling fenced in You grabbed a change of clothes and your best shoes Did you even pack a single photograph of me? One little memory? You thought it would be easy Maybe it was for you I watched you walk away I still don't know why I guess you were running And from my windowpane I started to cry And if there's a single sound I'll never forget It's your engine rumbling I wish you'd seen the mess that you made With your clean getaway Standing in the hallway I hear the echo of your footsteps Blue eyes and your last name Are the only things that you left Are we still a family, did you ever love me? Were you ever happy? Doubt I'll ever know I hope you find what you're looking for I watched you walk away I still don't know why I guess you were running And from my windowpane I started to cry And if there's a single sound I'll never forget It's your engine rumbling I wish you'd seen the mess that you made With your clean getaway When I grow up I'll never be like you When I grow up I'll never be like you, like you 'Cause I watched you walk away, I still don't know why And from my windowpane I started to cry And if there's a single sound I'll never forget It's your engine rumbling I wish you'd seen the mess that you made Yeah, I wish you'd seen the mess that you made Yeah, I wish you'd seen the mess that you made With your clean getaway
