Hide me away
Lock me up and throw out the key
I’m hardly considered free
Bound by the shackles and chains
Pulling on the reins
I wanna be like the birds and the planes.

Flying.

Flying high up out of this place
Into space
I’m not going to chase you anymore.
Your feet are carrying you
Far away
And you say you hate running
But that’s all you ever seem to do.

They say people run to see who will follow
But have they ever stopped to think about the ones left behind
What it does to their mind
I’m stuck here thinking.

Wondering why you push me away
What am I supposed to say?
I’ve poured out my heart
Practically wore it on my sleeve
You made me believe
But all you ever did was leave

I guess all those sprints paid off
Cause you left so fast
That no matter how hard I run
Or how long I chase
I will never get you to face your fear
Of falling in love

You’ve hidden your heart so deep
Deeper than the darkest chasm
That skims the entrance of hell
You’ve got everyone under your spell.
But T-R-U-S-T
Is the word that you will never let be
Because it’s hard to trust someone you’re always running away from
Like a lifelong game of tag
But when do I get to stop chasing?

My legs are tired
But my heart’s even more
I’m losing a love that’s shaken me to the core
It’s 11:11 and if I had one wish
I’d take it back to the way that it was before

Shadows on a wall twist with light.
They dance on desolate plains.
Creeping through the gray of night,
they walk and run playing games.

Streaking and gliding, they slip through cracks.
Morning light is on its way.
They sneak a ride on someone's back
while trying to hide from the light of day.

A ray of sunshine finds its way through,
A bright spotlight in the sky.
Birds are waking, people too.
As another day starts, the shadows die.
