written by John Hiatt   © Careers-BMG Publishing Inc (BMI)      Could have been the kiss of my life   Could have been the death of me   Coulda been that I was just too scared   To wait around and see      You coulda been a guardian angel   I coulda been the wicked one   Besides the buttons on our shirts   What else did we leave undone      When we ran   When we ran   When we ran   Was it just the time slipping through our hands   Right through our hands      Maybe I was trying to tell you   I've never known a love so strong   Maybe in the shadows of the night   We just couldn't tell right from wrong      Maybe it's a real life story   Living with a sad regret   Maybe you were just a sweet dream baby   Something that I'll never forget      When we ran   When we ran   When we ran   Was it just the time slipping through our hands      You only had to say the words   I would have turned around and heard   But as it is we can't look back      The mind is just a loose cannon baby   And the memories are rolling dice   We found something one time baby   But we thought about it twice      And we ran   And we ran   And we ran   And we ran   And we ran   And we ran
