Get away with a ticket for a plane going far far away
Or in a small van up to the mountains
Save money to leave as soon as you can far far away
Leave before you get stuck in place as if
Stone put up as a statue in a garden never to leave
A garden filled with flowers slowly fading to nothing
Yet snowdrop flowers never stop blooming the way out of the garden
Alas through snowdrop flowers a passage far far away
Acid rain falls poisoning the soil til only a single flower remains
A singler snowdrop flower enough to save the garden
If it does not fade too soon there is hope still left
Breaking the stone long enough to reach the flower
Hanging to the snowdrop till you are somewhere else far far away
Where the only rain there is warm calming rain
Weather it’s the need to get away or to not be stuck
Yet the only way away is to wait awhile
Wait for a plane ticket or opportunity to go far far away
Weather for a month, week even just a day
The time passes sweetly when you're away yet you dread your return
No matter if you keep going far away
For it’s never enough if you dream of going far far away
Yet you come back to still dream about leaving
Unable to be content with staying yet unable to leave for awhile
To be content in a place you’re stuck in
Is to dream of leaving no matter how unlikely it may be
While you need to always exceed to leave
At least for it to be easier or stay stuck for awhile
In the end the only way to get out
Is to hang to a singler snowdrop flower until you’re someplace else
