lyrics

What the light holds
In the bedroom
Is a priest dressed
Like a clown

He’s a sad man
With a mindset
Of a fish that
Somehow drowns

Sorrow
Visits
Him now

What the truth shows
Of our connection
Is a myth blessed
By fear

Of aloneness
Of an empty chest
Of a shadow
Set to steer

I think I’ve always loved you
But I really know it now
If I do one thing right I’m gonna tie myself down to ya

If everybody needs the water and the soft breeze
Then I know that I can be the best of something

Now
I run to the car I run I run to the car

I’m a runner
With a vast terrain
Open to me
And I can’t stop now

But I miss you
In the wilderness
Of an empty field
Of a city crowd

I’m telling you I don’t want it
Another open road
Another long night alone
It goes too slow

I think I’ve always loved you
But I really know it now
If I do one thing right I’m gonna myself down to ya

If everybody needs the water and the soft breeze
Then I know that I can be the best of something

Now
I run to the car I run I run to the car I run
