lyrics

I thought about it for a while
Weighed the outcomes, counted casualties
And the truth is it’s easy to lose yourself
Out in this world, so hold onto me

I’ll be the tether that keeps you at bay
And if you ever start to lose your way, I’ll keep you safe

I’m not going anywhere, I’ve done this before
Right now, I’m a little scared, but that’s how I know

I’ve been trying to keep busy
Watered the plants, took out the dog, practiced my songs
But the truth is it’s too hard sometimes
To see your face on the telephone–can we just talk tomorrow?

I’ll still be there when you get off work
When you’re grumpy and tired, we’ll make it work
I’ll be steady, have fewer drinks
I won’t embarrass you like I did at that party, with dirt in my teeth

I’m not going anywhere, I’ve done this before
Right now, I’m a little scared, but that’s how I know

I know we have things to address
I know it’s hard to forget
And I’m sorry I can’t take back what I did

But I’m not going anywhere, I’ve done this before
Right now, I’m a little scared, but that’s how I know

I’m not going anywhere, I’ve done this before
But I’m not running, running, running, running
Running, running, running, running
