Running Shoes

If I could say what′s on my mind
I would draw a finish line
Hoping you’d run through
Hoping you′d run through

Darling I am skin and bone
Know that one day I’ll grow old
But somehow I’ll find you
Somehow I′ll find you

Everything I see is black and white
Except when I look at you

Wait
Don′t go away too soon
I’ll make my way onto you
I′ll put on my running shoes
And tread every mountain till I can’t
Just for a chance to not pretend
When I close my eyes

Hurry
Cause your seat is getting cold
And it′s not much left to hold
I’m losing my grip
It′s a long way from New Jersey
Singing songs to smiling faces
Different lights in different places
But you wish me well

Everything I see is black and white
Except when I look at you

Wait, don’t go away too soon
I’ll make my way onto you
I′ll put on my running shoes
And tread, and tread
Every mountain till I can′t
Just for a chance to not pretend

When I close my eyes
When I close my eyes
I don’t see the light
I put up a fight, I′m holding the line
I’m taking punches till I bruise my eyes
Do you care about me still?
When I walked right out the door
Do you still see the same boy as before?
