Run for me

Later here this morning
If the crowds hold back the rain
I'll declare my intent
To race again

Baby, I've done running
I've cut myself a deal
I gave myself a ladder
This time for real

And I've got nothing on the inside left to charm
Just look at me
And I've got nothing to live up to
And I've nothing to reveal

Go on, run for me
Go on, run for me
Go on, run for me

'Cause I can't take it back
Gone the summer, gone the past
And now it's gone, now it's gone

The lane is laid with ashes
My road is paved with fear
I bathed myself in sweet grass
To tame the years

And I've got nothing on the inside left to charm
Just look at me
And I've got nothing to live up to
And I've nothing to reveal

Go on, run for me
Go on, run for me
Go on, run for me

'Cause I can't take it back
Gone the summer, gone the past
Now it's gone, now it's gone
