Running at the First Sign of Danger.

Being scared. Trust issues and hope.

I'm running at the first sign of danger, 
Gotta' get out of here while I can 
I want badly to do this, wanna' just make it through this, 
Don't wanna' go without holding your hand 
But if I run, then I run on forever 
It's not something that's childish or carefree 
I'm trying not to expect to be running, 
But baby, I'll see 

I'm happy 'cause this time it feels different, 
And I'm hoping that we'll make it through 
You just gotta' keep trying, and no, I'm not lying, 
A heart can't hold tons without bursting in two 
And you say that the past, it don't matter, 
That we know that love won't let us fall 
And I'm hoping and praying that there will be days 
Where I don't think of the past at all 

So, I'm running at the first sign of danger, 
Gotta' get out of here while I can 
It may not seem like much, but your soft, simple touch 
Would itself keep my toes in the sand 
Yeah, I'm running, but inside I'm still wishing, 
Wishing you we're here right beside me 
And you say there's no need to be running, 
But baby, we'll see 

Through all of this, please just know that I love you 
And I know there's a lot that's at stake 
If we just make it through this, I know we can do this, 
And if I have to, there's risks that I'll take 
But you have to keep my heart untangled 
With my head, keep the bad voices out 
I'd love to start over, a new four-leaf clover, 
And we feel like we're up with the clouds 

Some, they run at the first sign of danger, 
And some fight back to stay while they can 
'Cause a soft, simple touch means ever so much 
To some people as they dance on the sand 
Others run, but they run close together, 
Holding hands, running - free as can be 
And you say I won't do any running, 
But baby, let's see 

I sure hope I won't do any running, 
Without you next to me.
