Lyrics
Before We Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold it in your arms, be still, pull there
I’ll hold you in mine before we run
We can start to sing, i know it’s odd
Beliving in all of this, and then we run
Running away from the end
Running away from the end
Running away to say
Orange clouds in full, the sky falls back
Before we lose our mind
Before we escaṗe, … line
To fast, and wise
Slowly like the storm
And still we’re there
Running away from there
Running away from there
Running until we’re there
Take me to a place where i’ll need this
Take me on the honest trial
Speak to me words we can’t erase
Take me there, it’s only us
