A Girl, Running

Another night you left the light on

Another light to lead us back

A little low on expectations

A little too high in the cab

The river runs against the window

Forehead pressed against the glass

A couple hundred yards of brake lights

Unlike a river and the raft

You cling into is drifting back in time

A girl running

A fixed position in the path

A girl running

Too dark to see where

Another night you left the light on

Another light that leaves you low

Leaves you alone with old frustrations

You share with everyone we know

A sinking sense your future is a thing you won't control

A girl running (she falls apart before me)

A fixed position in the path (and then I fall apart right back)

A girl running (she falls apart before me)

And gone just like that

A girl running (she falls apart before me)

And always along that line (and then I fall apart right back)

A girl running (she falls apart before me)

Right through her life

She falls apart before me

And then I fall apart right back

She falls apart before me

And then I fall apart right back

She falls apart before me

And then I fall apart right back

She falls apart before me

And then I fall apart right back
