My Heart Escapes

The smell of water on the sidewalk And the breath of rain in my lungs To meet you after this long time Tells me I'm not that young Not a word spoken from your lips or mine You're like a dream I thought I left behind I shouldn't sleep I should wake up I never meant to give it away My heart escapes and I try To catch it when it runs to you So here I stand in silence With bloodstains on my raincoat My heart escapes My heart escapes and runs to you You're still the same underneath those grey clothes I gave you And your photo remains in my wallet You are planting seeds of color in my ground Do I dare to stay or do I walk away? I wish I was safe and sound I shouldn't sleep I should wake up I never meant to give it away My heart escapes and I try To catch it when it runs to you So here I stand in silence With bloodstains on my raincoat My heart escapes Catch it Catch it when it runs to you There is still rain in my heart And the blood is see-through like water But I still wear your ring on my finger And you're still wearing mine I never meant to give you away My heart escapes and I should have tried To catch it and run to you Here I stand in silence With bloodstains on my raincoat My heart escapes My heart escapes and runs to you Catch me when I run to you
