River Run

Eyes wild, you're already gone

(Smoke rising, I'm catching on)

You never wait for morning to choose you

Lately, the doors don't matter at all

Bare feet in dew, always moving, sideways glances

Calling down thunder for fun

I say, "Slow down," you bite your tongue

Your laugh—gone quick as dawn

You run like rivers, straight through rules I made

Won't look over your shoulder, never asked to stay

You dance on fences, chasing wind, no shame

Run like rivers—never planned to change

I watch the mess you leave in gardens

Petals strewn but the color—you make it new

Everyone’s warning, you keep spinning

Your grin—a dare, or maybe a clue

Eyes flash, you don't explain

I keep hoping for rain

You run like rivers, straight through rules I made

Won't look over your shoulder, never asked to stay

You dance on fences, chasing wind, no shame

Run like rivers—never planned to change

Under the moon, we breathe in sideways

You leap, I freeze—still you laugh for both

(Run, run, run)

No apologies—just the path you choose

(Run, run)

Left with footprints I never erase

You run like rivers, straight through rules I made

Won't look over your shoulder, never asked to stay

You dance on fences, chasing wind, no shame

Run like rivers—never planned to change

Eyes wild, already gone

(Run, run, run)
