I’m Not Running

Verse 1

You showed up on a Tuesday

With your jacket soaking through

Said the forecast never gets it right around here

I made tea you didn't drink it

Just sat there pulling at the thread

On your sleeve and I pretended not to care

Chorus

And I don't know what this is

But I'm not running from it now

You talk about the future like

You've already figured out

How all the pieces fit together

How your maps don't get you lost

And I'm standing in the doorway

Not quite ready to walk out

Verse 2

You leave notes inside my books

Things you think I ought to read

Half a sentence underlined in faded pen

I found one that said remember

That the tide will always turn

You don't sign them but I know your hand by now

Chorus

And I don't know what this is

But I'm not running from it now

You talk about the future like

You've already figured out

How all the pieces fit together

How your maps don't get you lost

And I'm standing in the doorway

Not quite ready to walk out

Bridge

Maybe I'm a shipwreck

Maybe you're the shore

Maybe that's enough for now

Don't ask me what I'm hoping for

I just know I'm hoping

Guitar Solo

Chorus

And I don't know what this is

But I'm not running from it now

You talk about the future like

You've already figured out

How all the pieces fit together

How your maps don't get you lost

And I'm standing in the doorway

Not quite ready to walk out

Final Chorus

And I don't know what this is

(Don't know what this is)

But I'm not running from it now

(Not running now)

You talk about the future like

You've already figured out

How all the pieces fit together

(All the pieces)

How your maps don't get you lost

And I'm standing in the doorway

(Standing in the doorway)

Not quite ready to walk out

No I'm not ready to walk out
