I could run away, I could hide.
I'd be forever safe inside.
I would never speak outside my mind,
I would never tell a lie.
Just imagine me all by myself,
I know I'd be just fine.
Without another word, I could say everything,
for I would only use my heart.
And you would always know exactly how I feel,
and we would never grow apart.
If you could only see without your eyes,
we'd have eternity in time.
And with silence everywhere,
a quiet reckoning would very easily unwind.
But I will never be this close with anyone,
if I just run away and hide...
