Album: Civil Twilight (2010)

Run Dry

I got up and dusted off my running shoes
To see how far I could run away
I got up the hill and came back down again
And I blamed it all on you, the foolish things I do

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times
I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
But it's your love that won't run dry

I have looked down all those drinking wells
In some of them I accidentally fell
But when I hit the bottom
All I came up with was a dry and empty shell

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times, yeah
I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
But it's your love that won't run dry, oh

I gave it in, I gave it all
I just don't know anymore
I can't take this
I just don't know anymore

I tried to leave you but I don't know how
I try to give you up a thousand times
Ooh, I tell myself all kinds of foolish lies
Oh, but it's your love, it's your love, that won't run dry

I tried to leave you but I don't know how, oh
I try to give you up a thousand times
Yes, I told myself all kinds of foolish lies
Oh, but it's your love, it's your love, that won't run dry
Oh, it just won't run, it just won't run, dry, oh, ooh
