Will Durie - Run With It Lyrics

Songs and signed letters we didn't write to throw away
Flowers in old bottles, wasted now a drunk's bouquet
And even though it's said and done, I still see you in what's become the vase
Brown irises, red tulips, a rosy face
You and I were young for a little bit
Still painting on the stains of the pain of bliss
Yeah, we thought we had the world but must be too young for this
So we didn't run with it
Sounds of sad stations, the haunting harmony of trains
Lines of worn faces take the circles every day
The stops that we were riding through looked too much like missed opportunity
We left our chance on red and yellow seats
You and I had fun for a little bit
Before we saw what playing was turning into
We said we weren't grown up enough yet to commit
So we didn't run with it
And when time came 'round to point our fingers
All the fault came down to things that we said we were not quite ready for
Think we were just scared to admit
That we could've run with it
Yeah, you and I had love for a little bit
Before we knew what it was, we weren't scared of it
Now all I fear is I'm never gonna quit
(I'm never gonna quit)
Wishing I was ignorant again
But once you've been, you can't un-be it
(Still what I was)
Still not sure what we saw, but I can't unsee it
(And always will be)
All I know is we felt like no-one ever did
And we could've run with it
Yeah, we could've run with it
But we didn't run with it
