lyrics

I’ll pave the roads with cobblestones and I’ll lace them with jewels
Underneath the canopy you know they will shine for you
Trace the trees back to the sea and take shelter on the shore
Count the waves beneath your feet, you know you’re good at keeping the score
So tell me what’s the score?

And you’ll run, run, run, run right back to me
You’re always pulling at my sleeves
I’ll choose my words so eloquently
But you steal my breathe like a common thief

You’re losing grip of those big old ships and they’re sailing out of view
The moon hums an unfamiliar tune, you’ve heard nothing new
Wrap the trains in cellophane so the colours of the world can be seen
Chase the stars into the park, won’t you lay awake with me
Please lay awake with me

And you’ll run, run, run, run right back to me
You’re always pulling at my sleeves
I’ll choose my words so eloquently
But you steal my breathe like a common thief

You’ll run, run, run, run right back to me
You’re always pulling at my sleeves
I’ll choose my words so eloquently
But you steal my breathe like a common thief
