John Hiatt - When We Ran Lyrics

Could have been the kiss of my life
Could have been the death of me
Could have been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see

You could have been a guardian angel
I could have been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts, girl
What else did we leave undone?

When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
Right through our hands

Maybe, I was tryin' to tell ya
I'd never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong

Maybe it's a real life story
Livin' with the sad regrets
Maybe it was just a sweet dream baby
Somethin' that I'll never forget

When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Was it just the time slippin' right through our hands?

You only had to say the word
I would have turned around and heard
But if as it is we can't look back
The mind's just a trash can, baby

And the memories, rolling dice
We paid something one time, girl
But we thought about it twice

When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran

We ran
We ran
We ran, ran
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
