I Can't Run Very Fast

I wish I could go back to that moment When I could kiss you for no reason at all When the lights weren't on Yet I knew you were there Leaning against the wall I know I knew then what I don't want to know now These feelings were there all along The passion, the fear I'd willingly steer Myself into the wrong I saw an escape and I ran I ran away as fast as I could But the father I ran, the more familiar it became Now I stand where I previously stood She is different this time but the feelings remain Just as painful as the last I'm sure that I'll run away again, but we both know I can't run very fast.
