Run

I’m running late, I lose my keys and my mind Lipstick on my shirt but you’re the only thing I find Music in my veins, my heels click like a drum You’re waiting in the crowd — I’m coming, don’t you run Mirror fogged with laughter, I toss a shoe by the door Phone’s blowing up, can’t hear it over the night’s roar Scarf left on the stair, keys tangled in my hair Racing down the subway steps like I’m chasing air Taxi lights blur past, my reflection sways I forget the time but not your face in neon haze Breath like tiny fireworks, plans scattered on the floor Every little lost thing just gets me to you more I’m running late, I lose my keys and my mind Lipstick on my shirt but you’re the only thing I find Music in my veins, my heels click like a drum You’re waiting in the crowd — I’m coming, don’t you run I’m coming, don’t you run Don’t you run Coat on the chair, perfume in a spill I laugh at my reflection, racing up the hill Friends call my name, say “hurry, don’t be late I’m juggling a purse and a heartbeat full of fate Door swings open, lights bloom like day Bass pulls me forward, but it’s you who lights the way Hands brushed in the smoke, and the world softens its spin All the things I misplaced just bring me back to him City hums a secret that only midnight knows Streetlight confessions in the window where it glows Zip my dress, tie my hair, laugh at what I left behind Tonight the map is simple — it’s your heartbeat that I find I’m running late, I lose my keys and my mind Lipstick on my shirt but you’re the only thing I find Music in my veins, my heels click like a drum You’re waiting in the crowd — I’m coming, don’t you run I’m running late, I lose my keys and my mind Lipstick on my shirt but you’re the only thing I find Music in my veins, my heels click like a drum You’re waiting in the crowd — I’m coming, don’t you run Forget the map, forget the clock, I’ll find you in the night Forget the little things that fall, hold me in your light Lost things mean nothing when your arms are mine to find I’m running, stumbling, smiling — love is my alibi
