You Can Run
K. Wilhelm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thought of you and me and me and you
It's clear it's blurry
Your head my mind your mind my head as one
It's real the foolish worry

I feel you and you feel me as I feel you
It's good it's scary
The speed the heat it's deep and steep
It's light but hard to carry

Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it's quiet I know
You can hear it cover up your ears

Cover up your ears
Your hands, my mouth, your mouth, my hands
The weight of what we're thinking
No words, the air we breathe

It's not liquid, but we're drinking
Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear
Listen when it's quiet I know

You can hear it, cover up your ears
Cover up your ears
Listen when I'm silent there's a
Sound that only you can hear

A sound that only you can hear




A sound that only you can hear
A sound that only you can hear
