Because I always feel like running |
|
Not away, because there is no such place |
|
Because, if there was |
|
I would have found it by now |
|
Because it's easier to run, |
|
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one...who didn't run |
|
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described |
|
As in "the long run" |
|
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money" |
|
Or as in "running out of time" |
|
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though |
|
I hope there will ever be cause for that |
|
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover |
|
Because if |
|
I knew where cover was, |
|
I would stay there and never have to run for it |
|
Not running for my life, because |
|
I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear |
|
Because the thing |
|
I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from, |
|
Not without showing the fear as |
|
I see it now |
|
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer |
|
Because of you and because of that nice |
|
That you quietly, quickly be causing |
|
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why |
|
I'm running then |
|
You'll know then |
|
Because I'm not going to tell you now |
