lyrics

Kiss and Run

In the night we’d sweat it out,
I swore your eyes were on me.
And I guess I wasn’t the only one.
You’d take my hand and lead my heart
To someplace warm and dark.
And promise that I’d see the rising sun.

But you’d only kiss and run...
You were only having fun.
You’d only kiss and run.

In the day we’d laugh together.
I swore your lies were honest.
But what’s honest when you believe in nothing else?
I told my secrets, bared my soul,
Begged for you to take control.
I wanted you to save me from myself.

But you’d only kiss and run...
Tell me when you’re done.
You’d only kiss and run.

Don’t look now - sun has risen.
Don’t look now - another day.
Don’t look now - the wind is changing.
Blow us each our separate ways.

These things, they fall upon us.
I thought everything was open.
Though it hurt I’d probably do it all again.
But now you’re gone and life goes on
With a promise to call me someday when...

But you’d only kiss and run...
Baby hid my gun.
You’d only kiss and run.
