outrun you (february 16, 2011)

i’m finally moving on

living in a brand new place

but when i close my eyes at night

i swear i see your face

it’s easier to be

where i’ve never been with you

but i can’t escape the memories

no matter what i do

tell me what to do to outrun you

tell me where to go to get away

why is a thousand miles

still not enough to hide

the pain i feel for what we threw away

are you out there remembering me too?

oh, tell me what to do to outrun you

the bed on which i lie

has never known your love

but these sheets remind me how

your body fit my hands like a glove

there are fewer pieces of you here

than remain back in that place

but despite the distance and time

it seems that all the hurt remains

tell me what to do to outrun you

tell me where to go to get away

why is a thousand miles

still not enough to hide

the pain i feel for what we threw away

are you out there running from me too?

oh, tell me what to do to outrun you

sometimes i’m scared to try

not to think of you all the time

i’m afraid of losing the pieces of you left

but i know that i can’t hang on

to what we had any longer

cause i’m drowning in the depths of this mess

tell me what to do to outrun you

tell me where to go to get away

why is a thousand miles

still not enough to hide

the pain i feel for what we threw away

are you out there forgetting me, Roo?

oh, tell me what to do to outrun you
