Where Are We Running

by | Jun 11, 2022

Out of site
Not out of mind
We’re running
But not out of time

Where are we going
Where have we been
Stuck to a map
Like a red little pin

I want this to mean something
Let’s push past the brink
We’re running together
But not running in sync

Our feet are on fire
As we chase after time
It’s midnight again
Said the clock and the chime

We were born to run
Leave it behind
We’re two of a pair
Not two of a kind

Losing control
Feels almost right
Let’s hide in the dark
Scared of the light

Passion and fury
We’re running so deep
No time to wake
And no time to sleep

Where did I break
Where did I fall
Skimming past life
Close call after call

I remember the moment
Where I tried to let go
But you held my hand
And simply said “no”

You captured my soul
You cracked my code
I was empty within
But about to explode

Running blind
Ignoring the signs
Embracing the silence
Just follow the lines

Fate isn’t real
So this must be luck
Running without you
Would just… really suck

Staring at pages
They’re white and they’re blank
It’s just you and me
Nobody to thank

We kiss goodbye
To people we’ve never met
We’ll never know
So we’ll never forget

Rocks and stones
Were made to sink
But we’re made to fly
First jump, and then think

I can’t see past your body
But don’t ask you to move
We got nothing to hide
And nothing to prove

Free as two birds
We run across ground
We run and we run
We’re lost and then found
