But it never works when the ships sail away And each goes their own way You could stay here like you did before Though my touch was cold and my smile was gone Still you didn't mind You could go on for days and try to change my name Play my favorite song on and on You could come to me any rainy day I'll shelter you, then run away Run away, run away You could make me yours or at least try You were once so close but I opened my eyes I was so blind You could learn to fly or play in a band You could read my lips, but not my heart You were so blind You could go on for days and try to change my name Play my favorite song on and on You could come to me any rainy day I'll shelter you, then run away Run away, run away We walked away like it was okay Try and try but our hands were tied My box of matches started this flame And the look in your eyes The rush through your veins I am the one to blame You could go on for days and try to change my name Play my favorite song on and on You could come to me any rainy day I'll shelter you, then run away Run away, run away I'll shelter you
