It was a late dream

A world you made of steam

They put your heart on a stand

And every passerby watched your firefly

With nowhere to land

You wrapped your words right

You let them sleep tight

Until love showed its face

There was a light wind

You left your heart in him

And held your name back from grace

And you wrap like you know

That the world needs a show

But you want somebody to love

Run away, run away

'Cause it fits to fall

And we all know

You didn't mean it at all

Run away, run away

Let your words recall

You're not alone,

You wouldn't leave us at all

You watch the close calls for shadow broken laws

You put yourself on a stand

You let your guilt ride and found a place to hide

From love's hard demand

You found the right pose

The kind a stranger knows

Your heart was up in the air

There was a strong wind, it brought you back to him

But you were too far to care

Now you rot for the sake of a heart you can break

Because you want somebody to love

Run away, run away

'Cause it fits to fall

And we all know

You didn't mean it at all

Run away, run away

Let your words recall

You're not alone,

You wouldn't leave us at all

When it feels right, you're free to leave

When it feels like there's room to breathe

And it feels like you're letting go,

You're letting go

Run away, run away

'Cause it fits to fall

And we all know

You didn't mean it at all

Run away, run away

Let your words recall

You're not alone,

You wouldn't leave us at all
