Running Away Lyrics by Genevieve Stokes

Swimming Lessons

2021

[Chorus]
Couldn't see you coming
I was always running away
You hit me out of nowhere
Will you stay?
[Verse 1]
So conflicted
This shit doesn't make sense
I was lifted but now I'm just on the fence
I want to feel limitless but there's nothin' left
Just a sorrow that I can't dissect
Your eyes were filled with emptiness
I wish that I could miss them less
But that's overdue
Never opened up what do you got to lose?
I wanted you, I still want you bad
Somethin' that I never will have
[Chorus]
Couldn't see you coming
I was always running away
You hit me out of nowhere
Will you stay?
[Verse 2]
And you're nothin' but the things that I tell myself
Somethin's telling me that you know me well
But maybe I just see what I wanna see
The feeling's killing me
And I'm nothin' but the things that I tell myself
Lie and think I'm special just like everybody else
But somethin' in the water has been tempting me
You float so easily
[Chorus]
Couldn't see you coming
I was always running away
You hit me out of nowhere
Will you stay?
Couldn't see you coming
I was always running away
You hit me out of nowhere
Will you stay?
[Outro]
Be brutally honest just like you promised
Are you running away?
Be brutally honest is this what we wanted?
Or are we running away, away from love?
I'm scared of love
Away from love
I'm scared of us
