I Ran Away

(album: Sweep It Into Space - 2021)

Never sure whose side to take
Never sure when I'm awake
If there's a difference make it three
If I could change I would agree

There's a section outta reach
Little things I'd like to keep
Rattles in your head a sign
I'd expect another time

I ran away
I gave it up today
Who could I blame
It can't be true

I ran away
I stomped and then I phase
That's where I stay
To wait for you

Keep it now and keep the sound
All the pieces that you found
Fit together just to reach you
Hold up outta town
In the head's a jumbled mess
Like to sort this out instead
I can't hold on just to meet you
Push out all the rest

I ran away
You had enough to say
It fell away without a peep

Can I expect
Don't need to be that wreck
That's not to say it's gonna keep

Meet me where I know
Here's a piece I can't let go
The difference is you found it
There's no way of knowing
Packed away from here
Swallowed up and logged the fear
Wish you took a picture
To show me where you're going

I ran away
If you gave up today
I found a way to keep it true
I ran away
It can't just be this way
That's where I'll stay
To wait for you
