run dry

civil twilight

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
