Artist/Band: Blues Traveler
Lyrics for Song: Run
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Blues Traveler



Oh, once upon a midnight dearie

I woke with something in my head

I couldn't escape the memory

Of a phone call and of what you said

Like a game show contestant with a parting gift,

I could not believe my eyes

When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend

Who needs to humor me and tell me lies



Yeah, humor me and tell me lies

And I'll lie, too, and say I don't mind

And as we seek, so shall we find

And when you're feeling open, I'll still be here

But not without a certain degree of fear

Of what will be with you and me

I still can see things hopefully, but you



[Chorus]

Why you want to give me a run-around?

Is it a surefire way to speed things up

When all it does is slow me down?

(oh, yeah)



Shake me and my confidence, about a great many things

But I've been there, I can see it cower

Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings

Of a bad play where the heroes are right



And nobody thinks or expects too much

And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights

Singin', hey, babe, let's keep in touch

Hey, baby, let's keep in touch



But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me

And show me all the things no one else can see

So what ya feel becomes mine as well

And soon if we're lucky, we'd be unable to tell



What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine

And it doesn't have to rhyme

So don't you feed me a line

But you.



[Chorus]



Tra la-la bomba dear, this is the pilot speakin'

And I've got some news for you

It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop

And there ain't a whole lot that you can do



Oh, sure, the banner may be torn

And the wind's gotten colder

Perhaps I've grown a little cynical

But I know no matter what the waitress brings



I shall drink in and always be full

Yeah, I will drink it and always be full

Oh, I like coffee, and I like tea

But to be able to enter a final plea



I still got this dream that you just can't shake

I love you to the point you can no longer take

Well, all right, o,k., so be that way

I hope and pray that there's something left to say

But you



[Chorus]
