Could have been the death of me
Could have been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see
You could have been a guardian angle
I could have been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts, girl,
What else did we leave undone?
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
Right through our hands
Maybe I was tryin' to tell ya
I'd never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong
Maybe it's a real-life story
Livin' with the sad regrets
Maybe it was just a sweet dream baby
Somethin' that I can't forget
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
You only had to say the word
I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we can't turn back
The mind's just a trash can, baby
And the memories, rolling dice
We had something one time, girl,
But we thought about it twice
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
We ran
We ran
We ran
When we ran
When we ran
Could have been the kiss of my life Could have been the death of me Could have been that I was just too scared To wait around and see You could have been a guardian angle I could have been the wicked one Besides the buttons on our shirts, girl, What else did we leave undone? When we ran When we ran When we ran When we ran Was it just the time slippin' through our hands? Right through our hands Maybe I was tryin' to tell ya I'd never known a love so strong Maybe in the shadows of the night We just couldn't tell right from wrong Maybe it's a real-life story Livin' with the sad regrets Maybe it was just a sweet dream baby Somethin' that I can't forget When we ran When we ran When we ran Was it just the time slippin' through our hands? You only had to say the word I would have turned around and heard But as it is we can't turn back The mind's just a trash can, baby And the memories, rolling dice We had something one time, girl, But we thought about it twice When we ran When we ran When we ran When we ran We ran We ran We ran When we ran When we ran Explain Request ×
