Every Time You Walk Away

Bolt the door and pull the blind, let me grab a glass of wine
There’s something lost we need to find
You can look behind the chair, but i’ve already been back there
And your eyes aren’t as good as mine
It’s a small part of your heart, got shaken loose one day
Now every time you walk away it gets so hard for me to stay
Every time you walk away a little more goes through the door

Do you think love’s gonna bite, clamp down hard and hang on tight
Is that why you’re afraid to touch
And do you think you’re being kind
Keeping quiet all the time when silence is what hurts so much
Lay down here right next to me it’s such a pretty day
Please don’t wait until there’s really nothing left to say
’cause every time you walk away you make it hard for me to stay
Every time you walk away

Of all the faces in my dream it was yours that made me scream
But you won’t scare me anymore
Not if you take me at my word
And just forget all that you’ve heard or seen or done or felt
Or touched before
And hold me like the air you breathe, the prayer at night you pray

Every time you walk away a little more goes through the door
Every time you walk away
