Back In Your Running Days

Back in your running days
Things were unplanned
You’d smile so sweetly
But wouldn’t hold out your hand

There were promises made
Like you talk in your sleep
There were letters unwritten
Appointments to keep

Don’t leave here
You’re the one I’d be missing
Don’t cry dear
You’re the one I long to be kissing

Back in your running days
Things were absurd
You’d be screaming at shadows
With the need to be heard
You’d be singing with singers
With the need to be seen
Now you’re still on the stage
And you feel in between

Don’t leave here
You’re the one I’d be missing
Don’t cry dear
You’re the one I long to be kissing
Well a need is a need
But we can’t fight them all
And a tear is a teardrop
When it’s ready to fall
And you’re brave when you listen
But not when you crawl
But this time I’ll ask you to stay
