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
(???)

Breathe in
Breathe in
My love
(???)
