I get by, I keep dreaming that love won't die
It gathers in clouds
They burst but I stay dry
The night sticks like jealousy to me
I'm cold and I don't want to be
If your heart is screaming it's not my concern
If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn
When it cries for answers
Then I will play dumb
'Cos I never learned to walk before I run
I get tired when the heavens and the earth conspire
They huddle and talk
And put smoke where there is no fire
I twist my arms and grit my teeth to see
If real life is too real for me
If your love is screaming it's not my concern
If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn
When it cries for answers
Then I will play dumb
'Cos I never learned to walk before I run
In the wiredrawn lines behind my face
There is no light, it has no space
I should long for air 'cos you grip so tight
Like the dark that wraps around me when I'm buried by the fight
If your love is screaming it's not my concern
If it begs for meaning I will twist and turn
When it cries for answers
Then I will play dumb
'Cos I never learned to walk before I run
