Running to Stand Still - Andi Starr

And so she woke up Woke up from where she was lying still Said I gotta do something About where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night Singing, ah-la-la-la-de-day Ah-la-la-la-de-day Ah-la-la-de-day Sweet the sin Bitter the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You got to cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice You know I took the poison From the poison stream Then I floated out of here Singing, ah-la-la-la-de-day Ah-la-la-la-de-day Ah-la-la-de-day She runs through the streets With eyes painted red Under a black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging, she is raging And the storm blows up in her eyes She will suffer the needle chill She's running to stand still

And so she woke up Woke up from where she was lying still Said, "I gotta do something About where we're going" Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night Singing ha, ah, la, la, la, de day Ah, la, la, la, de day, ah, la, la, de day Sweet the sin Bitter the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You gotta cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice You know I took the poison From the poison stream Then I floated out of here Singing, ha, la, la, la, de day Ha, la, la, la, de day, ha, la, la, de day Ooh, ooh, ooh She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging, she is raging And the storm blows up in her eyes She will suffer the needle chill She's running to stand still

I know we just met You don't know that much about me Made-up in my head and your character he likes me Wouldn't call this love, more like infatuation 'Cause you're going through your phases And I'm not good with changes But just for this moment Let me live in my head Before ten years go by and you forget I'm walking down the aisle You're standing, waiting for me Fell in love with your smile Your brown eyes they adore me I've got on my white dress, and I'm not afraid of hurting 'Cause the truth is I'm in love with an idea and not a person You'll never hold me tight And you'll never kiss me sweetly It keeps me up at night Thrown back into reality If only love were true and guys like you said sorry Maybe this would work, but we were just a made-up story Your lips speak the truth and my heart is yours to take Ever trusting you would be my best mistake 'Cause every word is smooth when I'm looking in your eyes I wonder what it feels like when the time is right But just for this moment Let me live in my head Before ten years go by and you forget I'm walking down the aisle You're standing, waiting for me Fell in love with your smile Your brown eyes they adore me I've got on my white dress, and I'm not afraid of hurting 'Cause the truth is I'm in love with an idea and not a person You'll never hold me tight And you'll never kiss me sweetly It keeps me up at night Thrown back into reality If only love were true and guys like you said sorry Maybe this would work, but we were just a made-up story Feel you all around, promise you'll never leave me You won't take back your word You'll always say you're sorry 'Til the day your back is turned And the harsh truth hits me It was never real, just a made-up story I'm walking down the aisle You're standing, waiting for me Fell in love with your smile Your brown eyes they adore me I've got on my white dress, and I'm not afraid of hurting 'Cause the truth is I'm in love with an idea and not a person You'll never hold me tight And you'll never kiss me sweetly It keeps me up at night Thrown back into reality If only love were true and guys like you said sorry Maybe this would work, but we were just a made-up story
