Always running, never stop for nothing You don't stay long in any place There's always something, never see it coming You won't have time to move away I wish I could keep you safe It tears me up inside when you're away I wish I could keep you safe Out in the open, secretly hoping The sky falls down on everything And you can't stop the times, but that won't stop me trying Well, not for my sake anyway I wish I could keep you safe Only wanna know that you're okay I wish I could keep you safe Always running, running, running, you're Always running, running Won't you wait? I wish I could keep you safe Even if we started over We would make mistakes If I could keep you from getting older I wish I could keep you safe Do you know if we're getting closer Or further away If I could keep you from getting older I wish I could keep you safe
