Running From the Idea

You called me Tuesday, voice a little thin. Said you'd been thinking about the shape we're in. I kept on walking, didn't stop to speak. Four more blocks until I felt my knees go Weak. Maybe I'm the problem here. Maybe it's the way I disappear every time You get too near. I'm running from the idea That you might be the one who stays. Running from the idea That love could work in simple ways. I'm scared of what I feel, Yeah. Afraid of brighter days. I'm running from the idea before It takes me all the way. You left your jacket on my bedroom floor. I held it Thursday standing by the door. Wanted to call you, say I changed my mind. But fear's a language I've been fluent in this Time. Maybe I'm the problem here. Maybe it's the way I disappear every time You get too near. I'm running from the idea That you might be the one who stays. Running from the idea that love Could work in simple ways. I'm scared of what I feel. Afraid of brighter days. I'm running from the idea Before it takes me all the way. What if I stop moving? What if I just let it be? What if all this proving is just me Fighting me? I'm running from the idea, That you might be the one who stays. Running from the idea, Idea, that love could work in simple ways. I'm scared of what I feel. Afraid of brighter days. I'm running from the idea Before it takes me all the way. Before it takes me all the way.
