it’s the spark in your sigh
that wakes me every time.
it’s the lifeline in your eyes
that rips me back to life.

if I ever hurt you again,
I’ll never let it go.
whisper in my ear your last amen,
and hope you know enough to hope.

I run, run away.
I run, run, run away.
the farther I get from your optimism,
the more that I wish I had stayed.

the more that I wish I had stayed.
the more that I wish I had stayed.

my weakness is no lie,
it drags you down again.
straight from your perch on high.
I'm sorry for my sins.
why would you let me in?

I run, run away.
I run, run, run away.
the farther I get from your optimism,
the more that I wish I had stayed.
I run, run away.
I run, run, run away.
I can’t shake the feeling I'll always go wrong,
so tell me what is there to say?

tell me what there is to say.

wake me up,
pull me closer,
let go of the rain.

wake me up,
pull me closer,
let go of the rain.

wake me up,
pull me closer,
wake me up,
pull me closer,
let go of the rain.

I run, run away.
I run, run, run away.
the farther I get from your optimism,
the more that I wish I had stayed.
I run, run away.
I run, run, run away.
it’s the best thing to do, it’s the best thing for you,
but I really wish I had stayed.
oh, I really wish I had stayed, I really wish I had stayed.
