[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up
[Chorus]
I never meant to give it away
My heart escapes and I try
To catch it when it runs to you
So here, here I stand in silence
With bloodstains on my raincoat
My heart escapes
My heart escapes and runs to you
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I shouldn't sleep
I should wake up
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Runs to you
Runs to you
Catch me when I run to you
