Lyrics

You left your shoes by the door
Like you might come back for more
I keep the porch light on
But the whole house feels gone

Your note was just two words
Smudged blue ink, hard to read
Still I hold it like a map
Like it means something to me


If I call, you won't stay
If I wait, you fade away
My hands are shaking now
But I know what they say


Run away, run away
Take my name and break away
Run away, run away
If you leave, don't hesitate
Run away, run away
Better gone than here this way
Run away, run away
I can't watch you slip away


I found your coat on the chair
Still got your rain on there
Little dark stain on the cuff
Like the storm never had enough

Your keys in the sugar bowl
Your ring on a dusty shelf
Every room says your name
But it won't say it itself


If I call, you won't stay
If I wait, you fade away
My hands are shaking now
But I know what they say


Run away, run away
Take my name and break away
Run away, run away
If you leave, don't hesitate
Run away, run away
Better gone than here this way
Run away, run away
I can't watch you slip away


I stood at the back fence line
Felt the cold cut through my spine
Wanted to beg you to turn
Wanted to let it all burn

But your shadow crossed the yard
And I knew from the start
Some doors only close
When you choose to go


Run away, run away
Take my name and break away
Run away, run away
If you leave, don't hesitate
Run away, run away
Better gone than here this way
Run away, run away
I can't watch you slip away

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
