Ready to Run - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Oh, we are sensitive people afraid to say the wrong thing

So I walk home alone recalling everything

Whole conversations, play by play

I thought by this age I'd always know what to say

But I've stopped making those conclusions

For all the nights that I've enjoyed

There's been a couple more that I've spent

Simply humbled by the void

And who did you think I was

When you first met me, moons ago?

When I wanted to kiss you forever

And, babe, you wanted to take it slow

Take it slow

Did I disappoint you? I'm pretty sure I did

You thought I was some kind of rock star, I was a nervous little kid

And I assumed you were someone I could lean myself upon

But with the blink of an eye, you were out the door, gone

So I've stopped making those conclusions

Thinking you could truly know someone

You peel a layer, find another

No, you're never really done

And who did I think you were

When we danced in the setting sun?

When you said that you'd love me forever

And I was getting ready to run

Ready to run

And who did I think I was

As I narrowed in closer to the sun?

And perhaps I'll feel like this forever

I'm always ready to run

Ready to run

Oh, it's already begun

I'm getting ready, ready to run

Oh, it's already begun

I'm getting ready, ready to run

Oh, it's already begun

I'm getting ready, ready to run
