Running Start

Your shoes are lying by my front door
 That same one you don't walk through anymore
 In such a rush to get away, you just left them behind
 Running off in the distance to see what you could find
 And each time I see them, I think about you
 Did you leave them on purpose, knowing that's what they'd do?
 To keep hope alive that you just might come back
 Or soften the blow of you turning your back
 Running out of time, we exist outside of time
 Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind
 As long as the door's neither open nor closed
 Allows you to trust I will always be yours
 My shoes are lying by the front door
 Clean and unused, I don't walk anymore
 There's nothing left out there I want to explore
 They'll just have to wait 'til you open the door
 Running out of time, we exist outside of time
 Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind
 As long as the door's neither open nor closed
 Allows you to trust I will always be yours
 Somewhere you're running, still running away
 Where you are headed, no one can say
 Running in circles, awaiting the day
 You tire of running and throw them away
 Your shoes are lying by the door next to mine
 Wondering, like me, if we've still got time
 Time yet to wait, we're not going nowhere
 Until you can fill them, those shoes will be there
 No one else can fill them, those shoes will be there
 Running out of time, we exist outside of time
 Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind
 As long as the door's neither open nor closed
 Allows you to trust I will always be yours
