Lyrics

Run Down the Stairs

I wanna tell the truth

I really do

I get so scared

When i try to talk to you

Cause you know me when i open up my mouth

And you see my eyes when i say what i say

When i say what i say

Yeah, when i say what i say

When i say what i say

But i don't know the truth

And i can't talk

I clap my hands

And go for a long walk

I cut my hair

I run down stairs

Run down stairs

I dance around in a small room

With the lights turned down

I think about you now

I walk around late at night

Cause i can't go to sleep cause you're not here

To turn out the light

Turn, turn, turn out the light

I guess it's all right

My hands hold the world

They hold my head

They hold my knees up to my chest

They tell the truth

They love you so

My hands would touch you but they don't know how

They don't know how

They don't know how

They don't know how
