I Remember Running [SSC8, AUS]

You keep that coat on Hands buried deep inside the pockets I hear the sirens turn Somewhere past the liquor store and down the block They say the city's patient But patience thins when the rent comes late I packed a bag this morning Left the rest of our life by the sink and empty plate You keep that coat on I keep the envelope against my ribs I took it from the bottom drawer Where nobody looks and everybody lives Don't ask me if it's right That question's been done for a long, long while If we don't move by midnight We'll be trading in this freedom for a trial So I remember running Running for the train Breath tasted like pennies in my mouth The ticket bled through my palm And your hand stayed firm, pulling me south And for a second I believed Motion might be enough Yeah, for a second I believed Moving could feel like love We don't got a map We don't got a claim Just a string of numbers and a borrowed last name You hold the railing Like it's something you were given You don't say anything You button yourself closed I'm standing on the platform now Listening to places I don't even know You can keep the money You can keep the reasons that you stayed I'm tired of standing still Watching courage turn to delay So I remember running Running for the train Breath tasted like pennies in my mouth The ticket bled through my palm And your hand stayed firm pulling me south And for a second I believed Motion might be enough Yeah, for a second I believed Moving could feel like love I remember running, running Running, running But no one knows where it ends Just know I was moving for the first time
