Running Start

Your shoes are lying by my front door That same one you don't walk through anymore In such a rush to get away, you just left them behind Running off in the distance to see what you could find And each time I see them, I think about you Did you leave them on purpose, knowing that's what they'd do? To keep hope alive that you just might come back Or soften the blow of you turning your back Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door's neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours My shoes are lying by the front door Clean and unused, I don't walk anymore There's nothing left out there I want to explore They'll just have to wait 'til you open the door Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door's neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours Somewhere you're running, still running away Where you are headed, no one can say Running in circles, awaiting the day You tire of running and throw them away Your shoes are lying by the door next to mine Wondering, like me, if we've still got time Time yet to wait, we're not going nowhere Until you can fill them, those shoes will be there No one else can fill them, those shoes will be there Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door's neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours
