Running -

Conversations, running wild through my mind

Am I coming off unkind, or is it just in my head?

Loneliness, rushing in just like the tide

I need some time to unwind, but not enough to bring me back to where I was

But I can see it still, I swear that I can see it still

But you can’t change the way the wind blows through the trees

And how with it we scatter, through the world like autumn leaves

But if you stay close to me

I swear that I will always keep the engine running

There was a time when we were all the best of friends

We had no need to pretend, but it’s not like that now

Cutting ties, I never meant to see it end

But it was too hard to spend so much time trying to fit into a lie

But I can see it still, I swear sometimes I want it still

But you can’t change the way the wind blows through the trees

And how with it we scatter, through the world like autumn leaves

But if you stay close to me

I swear that I will always keep the engine running

I am looking back on the lives that we lived then

How did we lose track of how it felt to still be friends

Oh please take me back to the carefree days of summer

Before we learned that distance signified the beginning of the end

But you can’t change the way the wind blows through the trees

And how with it we scatter, through the world like autumn leaves

But if you stay close to me

I swear that I will always keep the engine running
