Lyrics Weekend Away - Tunng

Weekend Away

Wander through the wreckage
Of the dancing flaws
Faces turn in the light
A stranger on the brink of love, love
Confusion, near delight
A cup of something warm
In the dead of night
We’re friends in need, indeed
Lies that only flatter love, love
They whisper until we bleed
Burning blindly like the sun
Our hearts beat in rhythm all alone
All our wishes are undone
Forget those days, they’ve gone
Piling in the back at the end of it all
We’re friends in need, indeed
Lies that only flatter love, love
They whisper until we bleed
Drifting into days
When all is said and done
In blue, yellow and grey
Stuck inside your head
Are all those names gone by
You’re desperate to get away
Burning blindly like the sun
Our hearts beat in rhythm all alone
All our wishes are undone
Forget those days, they’ve gone
And it’s only a weekend away
It’s only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
It’s only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It’s only a weekend away
And it’s only a weekend away
It’s only a weekend away
Let it be beautiful
When we sing the last song
It’s only a weekend away
I carried you away
And no one saw you leave
I placed you in my pocket for safe keeping
A miniaturized version of you
And I will wear my halo in the sun
So no one sees me cheating
Well, I didn’t mean to see
To shipwreck you with me
And now our poisoned pirate ship is broken
And shards of wood and glass turn into ocean
Rocks on top of rocks are in my view
They leave my mouth wide open
Salty water wash me
Salty water wash me
Like concrete turns you right
Steel turns me on
Metal doors will close and they will open
Don’t step on factory floors you will fall down
Compartments allows you in my mind
Like boxes on a slip line
And I will wear my halo in the sun
So no one sees me cheating
Salty water wash me
Salty water wash me
