[Verse 1]
Oh, we are sensitive people afraid to say the wrong thing
So I walk home alone recalling everything
Whole conversations, play by play
I thought by this age I'd always know what to say
[Pre-Chorus]
But I've stopped making those conclusions
For all the nights that I've enjoyed
There's been a couple more that I've spent
Simply humbled by the void
And who did you think I was
When you first met me, moons ago?
When I wanted to kiss you forever
And, babe, you wanted to take it slow
[Chorus]
Take it slow
Take it slow
[Verse 2]
Did I disappoint you? I'm pretty sure I did
You thought I was some kind of rock star, I was a nervous little kid
And I assumed you were someone I could lean myself upon
But with the blink of an eye, you were out the door, gone
[Pre-Chorus]
So I've stopped making those conclusions
Thinking you could truly know someone
You peel a layer, find another
No, you're never really done
And who did I think you were
When we danced in the setting sun?
When you said that you'd love me forever
And I was getting ready to run
[Chorus]
Ready to run
Ready to run
[Bridge]
And who did I think I was
As I narrowed in closer to the sun?
And perhaps I'll feel like this forever
I'm always ready to run
[Chorus]
Ready to run
Ready to run
[Outro]
Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
