The Runner Songtext
von Alison Sudol

Caught myself sleeping
I was standing in the hall
Staring at a picture of someone′s uncle and a president
Thinking I could kick a hole in the wall
Wish I had talked to you
When I had the chance
I wish I had saddled up and asked you for a cigarette
Asked you if you wanted to dance

Underneath I'm runny, runny, honey, running up and down
Running, running, running, running, running, running up and down

I think I really wanted you
It scared me to death
′Cause when I want I run, and when I run I want
And when I want I die like I am melting on the inside

Underneath my sweetest love

Ooh, ah!
Ooh


Breathe in, breathe in
My love
I'm on the run from you
And when the dust settles
I'll be there soon

I got halfway home then my shoe broke a heel
Then I walked, then I stumbled, then I crawled through the field
Then I lay on my stomach and I counted the stars
I think I found Venus but I couldn′t find Mars
And I have always, always, always been running away from something
I have always, always, always been running away from you

Breathe in, breathe in
My love
I′m gonna run to you
Lean in, oh lean in
My love
It's gonna hurt now
It′s gonna hurt now

It's gonna hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Yeah soon
Yeah soon
