Come Back Running

[Verse 1]
You’re at the door in that old blue sweater
Eyes like storms on a summer day
Every word we throw just cuts in deeper
Till I grab my keys and I drive away
Radio loud
But my hands are shaking
Your empty seat feels twice as wide
Streetlights blur and my chest is burning
From every stupid thing I said tonight
[Chorus]
But I remember
Coffee on Monday
Your hair a mess
Laughing at movies you always guess
The way you steal the covers in your sleep
I remember
You tracing circles on my hand
Saying
“Promise me you’ll always stand”
Right here
Right here with me
So I come back running
Come back running to you
[Verse 2]
Hit every red light
Curse at the traffic
Rain starts falling like it knows my name
Jump that fence ‘cause the gate is broken
Slip in mud
But I don’t feel the pain
Buzzing phone
All our photos flashing
You in the kitchen
Flour on your face
I see the night we danced in parking lots
Barefoot
Breathless
Wrapped in your embrace
[Chorus]
And I remember
You singing off-key to our favorite song
Getting every single lyric wrong
But swearing you’re the queen of melody (yeah)
I remember
You on my jacket in July
Shivering just to stay by my side
You said
“You’re home
You’re home to me”
So I come back running
Come back running to you
[Bridge]
Up the stairs
Two at a time (hey)
Heart on fire
Out of rhyme
I see your shadow in the hall
Whisper
“Please
Just let me fall
Into your arms
Into your arms”
[Chorus]
‘Cause I remember
Every little thing that makes you you
Every cracked joke
Every stubborn truth
Every tear you wiped from off my face
I remember
And I’m done walking out that door
If I lose you
I won’t want more
So if you’ll let me start brand new
I’ll keep on running
Always running
Right back to you
