I'd say goodbye
If I wanted you to notice
But I'm like the summer
That fades into fall
No sudden stops
No warnings
No writing on the wall
Gone like a dream
I am a ghost
Waiting to haunt you
I'll hold you close
'Til I disappear
I never meant to
Leave you behind
But I've a bad habit
Of dying sometimes
I'd like to close my eyes and stop time
From taking me toward the unknown
If I could love you
For infinite hours I would
But I run
And I run, and I run from
Everything holding me down
And I don't look back
I just go until
My ankles get sore
I will never be caught standing
Inside of a box too small for my soul
So I'll go
So I'll go
I am a song
Penned by a river
Rushing along
With no end in sight
I never meant to
Stick in your ear
I'll keep on singing
When nobody's here
I'd like to close my eyes and stop time
From taking me toward the unknown
If I could love you
For infinite lifetimes I would
But I run
And I run, and I run from
Anything holding me down
And I don't look back
I just go until
My ankles get sore
I will never be caught standing
Inside of a box too small for my soul
So I'll go
So I'll go
I'm not happy alone
But I won't let you down
If you never expect me
To stick around
I'd rather be reckless
And let myself fall
Than put down my roots
And fade until I'm nothing at all
I'd like to close my eyes and stop time
From taking me toward the unknown
If I could hold you
'Til I turn to stardust I would
But I run
And I run, and I run from
Anything holding me down
And I don't look back
I just go until
My ankles get sore
I will never be caught standing
Inside of a box too small for my soul
So I'll go
So I'll go
I am a ghost
Waiting to haunt you
I'll hold you close
'Til I disappear
I never meant to
Leave you behind
But I've a bad habit
Of dying sometimes
