Acting Like Lovers

We've gotta leave it all behind
(You can run but you’ll never make it out alive)
Hurry up we’re running out of time
(They were listening through the wall on the other side)
I'm standing in the violent morning light
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep tonight?

Waiting in the motel when you called
(Get your things 'cause we're leaving with the kids tonight)
Felt like I was climbing up the walls
(A thousand miles if we drive, I think I saw the sign)
I'm not a criminal like they all say
But I would do anything to keep you safe

All I ever thought I'd need was standing right in front of me
Fades into the morning sound of waves
Questioning the man in me will tell you what you've always seen
Before you turn the other way

Hiding all the obvious again
(You left the kids on their own by the swimming pool?)
We acted like lovers till the end
(I know you’re scared but we promised not to break the rules)
Street lights flick on, that time of night again
She's talking 'cause she's nervous to pretend

It's all I ever thought I'd need was standing right in front of me
Fades into the morning sound of waves
Questioning the man in me will tell you what you’ve always seen
Before you turn the other way
