If you ever run away   Would you ever complain?      If you ever run away   You know you could always stay   And I’ll always be with you   For the times you put me through      She’s living with her grandmother   Her mama and brother   23 years old   Hoping for new life to discover   The youngest of 'em    Never smothered as a child   Female superheroes always got the biggest smile   With her style, she got threats for an over-fair complexion   Crazy driver, almost died a couple times at intersections   Graceful mountain, falling offers, conversation   Really simple type, sipping up the information   She don’t get specific, with who it is she kicks it with   Sprouting jealousy out of anybody interested   So I run my tongue against the back of my teeth   And half-eyed smile when I get an hour’s sleep   The power to teach is in each and every relationship   What to learn takes no space between the lips   So shut your shit   And just sip your dry mouth   Listening to the one you care for is what it’s about      If you ever run away   You know you could always stay   And I’ll always be with you   For the times you put me through      I, have, been, abducted by, behaviours ill-advised   And she, waits, for time, to reveal, if it’s still inside   I trust her coin-collecting eyes and her beauty supplies   Uncomfortable with her confidence while not by my side   High-rises and sidewalks, cars where the streets talk   Farmers and beanstalks, forest and treetops   Mountains that goat climb, and stop at a “slow” sign   Construction at O nine hundred, it’s go time   Fuck all the safe zone, she is what she said   And St. Michael as honest, promising he’s next   He wants to be the one to help her away from home life   She’s got her soul right, her family don’t know life   Mother is jealous, crack the kettle pot to behavior   Her uncle stormed through the room, and stepped on her savior   So put out your lamps and candles and just stand and you’ll see   Faking all the good so dark will do to answer your feet   Now which way will I go?   We’ll end up growing to know,    And everything you lived for in the past will bottle up and explode   So if you ever need your space   You know that my non-commit universe is always your place   Told me that she loved my person on the third date   No bullshit, no games, this just all feels great   Upfront with one another and she doesn’t get boring   Last thought of the day, and first as I know in the mornings   Existing in between gravity, and moon’s crescent   Used to stand in front of these piles of new essence      If you ever run away   You know you could always stay   And I’ll always be with you   For the times you put me through      Hey, grace, meet me on the double   Material lies, why am I focused on the trouble?   This trouble, that trouble, any one’s fine,   As long as it’s this girl by my side   Hey, grace, meet me on the double   Material lies, why am I focused on the trouble?   This trouble, that trouble, any one’s fine,   As long as this girl is by my side
