The Interim

I found you throwin' pebbles at a star

And countin' rain drops in a jar

I had forgotten that some people

Really are still dreamin', they are still dreamin'

You never knew what fear was all about

You never felt the hollow ache of doubt

That someday you just maybe without

A next time, without a next time

I wish that I was stronger and able to hold

Without the help of someone weaker, I can mold

Into the person I would like myself to be, to be, to be

I heard a thought moving in it's shell

The sound of stones dropped into a well

And all too soon it was so easy to tell

That I was winning in a game

That I didn't want to play, that I didn't want to play

I just got to stop runnin' away

I just got to stop runnin' away

I wish that I was stronger and able to hold

Without the help of someone weaker, I can mold

Into the person I would like myself to be, to be, to be

I don't know where it all began

Where I've been runnin' time and time again

I'm just waitin' for the moment when

I can slow it down, oh, when I can slow it down

I just got to stop runnin' away

I just got to stop runnin' away

I just got to stop runnin' away

Runnin', runnin', yeah, runnin'

Won't you help me?

Help me stop runnin' away

Won't you help me?

Help me stop runnin' away, runnin'
