The Runner

Caught myself sleeping
I was standing in the hall
Staring at a picture of someone’s uncle and a president
Thinking I could kick a hole in the wall

Wish I had talked to you
When I had the chance
Wish I had saddled up
And asked you for a cigarette
And asked if you wanted to dance

Think I really wanted you
It scared me to death

‘Cause when I want, I run
And when I run, I want
And when I want, I die like I am melting on the inside

(Underneath my sweetest love)

Breathe in
Breathe in
My love
I’m on the run from you

And when
The dust settles
I’ll be there soon

I got half a way home
Then my shoe broke a heel
And I walked, then I stumbled, then I crawled through a field
And I lay on my stomach and I counted the stars
I think I found Venus, but I couldn’t find Mars

And I have always (always)
Always (always)
Always (always)
Been running away from something

I have always (always)
Always (always)
Always (always)
Been running away from you

Breathe in
Breathe in
My love
