Time Is the Anchor

Run if you want to*
Yeah, run if you want to
Yeah, run if you want to, time is the anchor, change is the constant, love is the trigger
The cards have been dealt, the call from the belfry
The raking of leaves, it only reminds me
I remember you asked, could I picture you older
No, I can't see the laugh lines receding
The grey doesn't suit you, the green light in your eyes
It only reminds me of springtime

Oh and already, the time it had changed us, we question the kindness, test every trust, and we hang from the rafters and spit out such cruel things
Oh just like, 'You just know me, you don't know me at all'
'Yeah, you just don't know me, you don't know me at all.'
If the light's turning red, keep your hand on the door, because you know that it might be a lesson in letting go, it might be a lesson in losing the best things, it might be a lesson in never, never again'
Oh and already, the time it has changed me

I fear I won't even cry when it's over
It'll just be some shadow that sneaks out at sunset, only to wind up drunk on your doorstep
You just know me, you don't know me at all
Yeah, you just don't know me, you don't know me at all
If the lights turning red, keep your hand on the door, because you know that it might be a lesson in letting go, it might be a lesson in losing the best things, it might be a lesson in never, never again
Run if you want to, Yeah, run if you want to

Run if you want to
Yeah, run if you want to
Yeah, run if you want to, time is the anchor, change is the constant, love is the trigger
The cards have been dealt, the call from the belfry
The raking of leaves, it only reminds me'
