Running With Our Eyes Closed Songtext
von Jason Isbell

It took forever to get you to trust me
Like I was feeding a bird from my hand
And if this isn′t love than it must be
Another answer I don't understand
To a prayer that was please and not thank you

To a question I wrote in the sand
To a wish that I made on a satellite
From a witness in tears on the stand

Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed

Well you are who you are when you′re angry
When you're scared or you're sad or you′re bored
When a stranger has slipped you a room key
To a hotel room you couldn′t afford


We can never go back and be strangers
All our secrets are mixed and distilled
But you've taught me to temper my anger
And you′ve learned it's alright to be still

Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed

Sleeping alone
When you won′t forgive me
Swallowing my pride until I nearly choke
Screaming at the phone
When you don't you believe me
Laughing at the joke

Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed
Running with our eyes closed
