When I Say

[Verse 1: Peter Rono]
Runaway train of thought
And not a single break in sight
I still smell the smoke thick on my clothes
From last night
And what if they can trace my steps too
My sneakers are white that's not hard to find
I seen it on Forensic Files one time
That puts me right at the scene of the crime
I need a straighter story, not too boring, who was home before me? Fuck
And plus my long black hair and green shirt
Oh my God they can definitely find me
You know they got cameras everywhere
I don't wanna see those red and blues shining
And it's really not that hard to find me

[Chorus: Peter Rono]
Please believe me when I say
I'd rather be anywhere else that day
Don't wanna see him coming for me
He knows the truth
And I don't know what to do

[Verse 2: Peter Rono]
Good dude, bad night
Right place, wrong time
In the blink of an eye, his whole life changed
Lose/lose situation, hesitation
Realisation makes me sick to my stomach
And I really, really, really don't want this

[Chorus: Peter Rono]
Please believe me when I say
I'd rather be anywhere else that day
Don't wanna see him coming for me
He knows the truth
And I don't know what to do

[Bridge: Peter Rono]
I can't fake tough so I'll fake sick
I can't change the past, I can only face it
The bliss of ignorance
The white thermometer, the boiling water
I'll do anything to get out of this
Sometimes I hide on Kelly Drive
It's the only place that I feel safe

[Chorus: Peter Rono, Peter Rono & Alex Hallquist]
Please believe me when I say
I'd rather be anywhere else that day
Don't wanna see him coming for me
He knows the truth
And I don't know what to do
Please believe me when I say
I'd rather be anywhere else that day
I think I see him coming for me
He knows the truth
And I don't know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
