She already knows about metaphors She knows about cliffs and edges About how much I loved all She understood the wilderness I don't want tamed Gets the fire kept for the hurt you have claimed I'm a runner Too broken to stay I'm a hider Too scared to play Chase me around the pines Find me in the dark Through the eyes that glow beneath the stars Catch me naked and touch me where I keep my scars Then Maybe Just Maybe You would understand Like she understood Or know Like she knows Till that, I will run again Catch another sunset myself Find another edge, another cliff Another metaphor For when you ask me Like she did "Why a fox?" I would say Like I did "I Love Orange"

Fox Phase
She already knows about metaphors She knows about cliffs and edges About how much I loved all She understood the wilderness I don't want tamed Gets the fire kept for the hurt you have claimed I'm a runner Too broken to stay I'm a hider Too scared to play Chase me around the pines Find me in the dark Through the eyes that glow beneath the stars Catch me naked and touch me where I keep my scars Then Maybe Just Maybe You would understand Like she understood Or know Like she knows Till that, I will run again Catch another sunset myself Find another edge, another cliff Another metaphor For when you ask me Like she did "Why a fox?" I would say Like I did "I Love Orange"
When you want someone else to see what a friend sees
