lyrics

She’s climbing out the window
Books and clothes forsaken on her floor
She’s not coming back this time
At least that’s what she told the man next door

She’s running when she hits the ground
Holding close her radio of grief
The one that helped forget about
The shouts downstairs, the bruises on her cheeks

No breadcrumbs trail behind her
No footprints follow her down the road
No landmarks there to remind her
‘Cause she doesn’t want to find her way back home

She’s tired and her feet are sore
Second thoughts are threatening her to tears
But she would rather take a chance
And live alone, than have to live in fear

No breadcrumbs trail behind her
No footprints follow her down the road
No landmarks there to remind her
‘Cause she doesn’t want to find her way back home

Where does she go from here?
What does she do?
Now that she’s all brand new

In twenty years she’s listening to
That prehistoric radio she keeps
She never will forget about
The shouts downstairs, the bruises on her cheeks

No breadcrumbs trail behind her
No footprints follow her down the road
No landmarks there to remind her
‘Cause she doesn’t want to find her way back
She hopes she never has to find her way back
No she doesn’t want to find her way back home
