You
by: Dave Shaffer
Run
As fast as you can
Out of your mind
Out of your head
Into my arms
Into my heart
Where you used to be before it fell apart
Breathe
Don't forget to breathe
I was unclean
Now I'm finally free
And I feel
Your breath on my skin
I never knew it'd be like this again
Cold
And you're not around
Wherever you are
I can't hear the sound
Of your footsteps
Gently you move
But now I know which force cannot lose
My time is almost up
Take
This gift that I give
And then you will know
How I need to live
And you feel
The way that I do
I didn't know it's what we would come to
You are
Not how you seem
Or how you would think
I'd want you to be
But you know
What you need to do
As I do
This power is true
My time is almost up
Think
About me at night
As though I were there
As the time is right
To run
As fast as you can
Into my arms
and this is the end
This is the end
