We were so young
when I ran away.
To my fears I clung.
When the night turned into day
I didn't come back.
But I sure did pray.
When I left I didn't pack.
I only brought my regret and fears.
They barely fit into my pockets.
And then I look at the sun.
I think it shines for you
the morning after I run.
I know that what I do
isn't the best thing for me
But it sure feels good to feel the sun
and know you're looking at me.
I’m all alone tonight, sitting in my room
I find myself thinking
Thinking of you
I don’t know how
How to go on
I need to break this now
This habit of running
It’s just like the sweat on my brow
I can’t seem to see, what’s right in front of me
This sticky sweaty mess is blinding
I don’t want this anymore
Running is what gives me peace
This sitting down is tearing me up inside
But I see the track out my window
I sit and stare, but I don’t go
I wish that I were brave
But this fear of staying is unbearable
Where are you?
Where are you darling?
I want to find you
But I’m so scared
Do I even know you?
Are you here?
I want to make the right choice
But how can I, if you hide
I want to run away
Far into the wilderness
Where I can just pray
Pray that you will find me
But if you came I wonder if I’d even recognize you
