Lyrics
If I Could Run Away
Written by Johannah Cantwell
Blood fast out of the darkness,
I wake, he’s not lying next to me
Your eyes soft with blue light, they cut through the night
I hear them speak to me
And I see them, need them, want them in my life
It’s tearing me in two
Lost, scared, torn between my heart and my mind, telling me that
Chorus
If I could run away
I would surely run with you
You are the adam of my eve
You are the mirror I see through
But there’s nothing I can do…
4 years fighting distance
4 years building love …it’s so hard to let it go
But as the tide keeps moving
The beat I feel is changing
To all the things you show
And I see you need you want you in my life
But I can’t walk away
My heart held to him with picture memory
But all I can say is
Chorus
Turning circles round my mind
Afraid to leave this place
But I will slowly come in time
To wash away
All the blue and grey
And to heal this heart
So I can find a way…
To say…
Chorus
If I had to choose
I would not hesitate
But are you willing to wait?
