I froze the day it came for me

I let everything rush past

I didn't think that they would see

The way I ran, so fast.

I ran to the end, the start, the light

To the memories I keep of you

That never leave the night

That never see the view

Of carpets and flower vases

Of curtains and picture frames

Of a future that always passes

That doesn't stop for shame

I froze the day it came for me

And I ran when it came for thee
