My Heart Escapes

The smell of water on the sidewalk

And the breath of rain in my lungs

To meet you after this long time

Tells me i'm not that young

Not a word spoken from your lips or mine

You're like a dream

I thought i left behind

I shouldn't sleep

I should wake up

I never meant to give it away

My heart escapes and i try

To catch it when it runs to you

So here i stand in silence

With bloodstains on my raincoat

My heart escapes

My heart escapes and runs to you

You're still the same underneath those grey clothes i gave you

And your photo remains in my wallet

You are planting seeds of color in my ground

Do i dare to stay or do i walk away?

I wish i was safe and sound

I shouldn't sleep

I should wake up

I never meant to give it away

My heart escapes and i try

To catch it when it runs to you

So here i stand in silence

With bloodstains on my raincoat

My heart escapes

Catch it

Catch it when it runs to you

There is still rain in my heart

And the blood is see-through like water

But i still wear your ring on my finger

And you're still wearing mine

I never meant to give you away

My heart escapes and

I should have tried

To catch it and run to you

Here i stand in silence

With bloodstains on my raincoat

My heart escapes

My heart escapes and runs to you

Catch me when i run to you
