When We Ran

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
