Indigo Girls - Run lyrics

You don't want me calling you up

All melancholy sick from love

You prefer it uncomplicated

Things are tricky now I bet you hate it

Your mind's eye finds the exit sign

And you're off in perfect fashion

And you run, that's all you've ever done

It's all you know to do

I can't hold that against you

And you'll flee cause you're born to be free

And if you go I'll understand

But you better get out while you can

The party's over, we had our fun

Flirting with madness a loaded gun

As much as nothing everything's changed

I'm soaking in it, it falls like rain

You seek the sun to dry off what's been done

You'll heat up every corner of the world

As you run, that's all you've ever done

It's all you know to do

I can't hold that against you

And you'll flee cause you're born to be free

And if you go I'll understand

But you better get out while you can

Can you keep this pace forever

I have never seen it done

Up deep burn all you leave behind you

You are the surface of my sun

I measure to what degree

I can shape up what's been forged in me

The cooper penny hissing in the pool

So much for wishes so much for cooling

Down this fire impossible desire

The further you get the more I'm drawn

And you run, that's all you've ever done

It's all you know to do

I can't hold that against you

And you'll flee cause you're born to be free

And if you go I'll understand

But you better get out while you can
