A Escondidas

I fall asleep to the slow beat of the clock
They call me out when I speed up and raise my voice
Even if it’s just to tell you I love you through the smoke of a joint
Even if it’s just to sing you your favorite song
Sneaking around, sneaking around, sneaking around, all

I’m pacing back and forth, just four steps to cover
And if I don’t put my foot in the right spot, they get all worked up and I can finally leave
Rushing to find your arms, to pull me out of the jam
With you, I can forget my name, waiting isn’t good, not good at all

You’ve been like a punch when it warns that the night is heavy
I’ve felt the walls of the closed room crashing down
That my suffocating loneliness was fading away

I fell off your mattress in the middle of the night when the rats come out to groom themselves
Like a lost soul, the ghosts retreat down the street of exhaustion, like every morning
Any path can be good if you know how to dive in
Any crossroads is a hidden box of surprises, hidden, hidden, hidden, hidden

You’ve been like a punch when it warns that the night is heavy
I’ve felt the walls of the closed room crashing down
You’ve been like a punch when it warns that the night is heavy
I’ve felt the walls of the closed room crashing down
That my suffocating loneliness was fading away
