I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires from a
thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we've outgrown all
the things
that we once loved Runaway
But what are we running from
A show of hands from those in
this audience of one
Where have they gone
I dentities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy
I brought down the sky for you
but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness away
But you ranaway
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we've outgrown all
the things
that we once loved Runaway
But what are we running from
A show of hands from those in
this audience of one
Where have they gone
We're all ok
until the day we're not
The surface shines
while the inside rots
We raced the sunset
and we almost won
We slammed the brakes
but the wheels went on
We ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we've outgrown all
the things
that we once loved Runaway
But what are we running from
A show of hands from those in
this audience of one
Where have they gone
