timothy foz - runaway, dear lyrics

[verse 1]
hotel rooms and sidewalks
loose friends and roadblocks
you call me to say goodnight
time zones and time lost
airplanes and late april frost
wouldn’t it be nice to not have to fight
for you

[verse 2]
hurt my knee in the cafe
concussions on birthdays
getting high off your voice at two am
long drives ’til sunlight
my intuition tells me something’s not quite right
eat my lies ’cause i’m losing who i am
with you

[chorus]
and oh, i’ve i’d seen it in your eyes
every month like a chapter
it pries me open and lies there stealing mine
from the houses we built on the couches and freeways
in plane seats on long days
where the skies looked so clear
but the waiting left me fearful
oh, i should’ve known, should’ve known
that you were a runaway, dear
[post+chorus]
runaway, dear
runaway, dear
runaway, dear
runaway, dear
you were a runaway, dear

[verse 3]
coffee in the morning
while you pack all of your things
touch your face every time like it was the last time
and we lose sight of tomorrow
while the world we built starts to spiral
and you say it’s only ’til next time again

[pre+chorus]
and again, and again, and again
and again, and again, and again

[chorus]
and oh, i’ve i’d seen it in your eyes
every month like a chapter
it pries me open and lies there stealing mine
(pries me open and lies there stealing mine)
from the houses we built on the couches and freeways
in plane seats on long days
where the skies looked so clear
but the waiting left me fearful
oh, i should’ve known, should’ve known
that you were a runaway
[bridge]
dearly beloved, what would we have said
when the groom started crying as the wedding bands bled
someone speak now
’cause he wouldn’t have forever held his peace (his peace)
the cake would’ve fallen and the vows gone unread
our parents would swear they saw it miles up ahead
that he’d run for the hills in a tux
before getting on his knees (his knees)
the flowers would wilt on the tomb of our bed
i’d eulogize memories of us in my head
i’d ask and i’d plead for an end to this need
something old, something blue
something lost to our youth
at the end of two years, all the tears and the fears
had i known what i’d seen, i would scream

[final chorus]
you should run away, dear
if i’d seen it in your eyes
you should run away, dear
every month like a chapter
it pries me open and lies there stealing mine
from the houses we built on the couches and freeways
in plane seats on long days
(you should run away, dear)
where the skies looked so clear
(skies looked so clear)
but the waiting left me fearful
oh, i should’ve known, should’ve known
(oh, i should’ve known)
oh, i should’ve known, should’ve known
that you were a runaway, dear
[outro]
(runaway, dear, runaway, dear, runaway, dear, runaway, dear)
that you were a runaway, dear
(runaway, dear, runaway, dear, runaway, dear, runaway, dear)
you should run away, dear
