Ready to Run

Oh, we are sensitive people afraid to say the wrong thing So, I walk home alone recalling everything Whole conversations, play by play I thought by this age I'd always know what to say But I've stopped making those conclusions For all the nights that I've enjoyed There's been a couple more that I've spent Simply humbled by the void And who did you think I was When you first met me, moons ago? When I wanted to kiss you forever And, babe, you wanted to take it slow Take it slow Take it slow Did I disappoint you? I'm pretty sure I did You thought I was some kind of rock star, I was a nervous little kid And I assumed you were someone I could lean myself upon But with the blink of an eye, you were out the door, gone So, I've stopped making those conclusions Thinking you could truly know someone You peel a layer, find another No, you're never really done And who did I think you were When we danced in the setting sun? When you said that you'd love me forever And I was getting ready to run Ready to run Ready to run And who did I think I was As I narrowed in closer to the sun? And perhaps I'll feel like this forever I'm always ready to run Ready to run Ready to run Oh, it's already begun I'm getting ready, ready to run Oh, it's already begun I'm getting ready, ready to run Oh, it's already begun I'm getting ready, ready to run
