Running for Cover Lyrics
If I could wake my crooked heart
If I was there right from the start
To feel what it was like to be turned on
If you could fly the battling wind
To miss the mark, correct within
If your wish came true, your dreams made real
Running for cover
Running to hide
If I could be the walls of man
To rest my head and trust the plan
And fighting like a child to get my way
If I could see the garden place
Before the fall, would things have changed?
I wasn't there and neither were you
But I take the blame as you should too, my friend
Now we're running for cover
Running to hide
Yeah, we're running for cover
Running to hide
We've been trying with each other to unravel the age old story
But I'm starting to think that there's a reason we don't understand
And it's easy to blame someone else for my wants and my worries
But I know - I accept that it's just a part of who I am
Now we're running for cover
Running to hide
And you say it's not my problem
I'll decide out of mind
Yes, we're running for cover
Yeah, we're running afraid
As we run with one another
Oh, the mess that we've made
If I was there right from the start
To feel what it was like to be turned on
To miss the mark, correct within
If your wish came true, your dreams made real
Running to hide
To rest my head and trust the plan
And fighting like a child to get my way
Before the fall, would things have changed?
I wasn't there and neither were you
But I take the blame as you should too, my friend
Running to hide
Yeah, we're running for cover
Running to hide
But I'm starting to think that there's a reason we don't understand
And it's easy to blame someone else for my wants and my worries
But I know - I accept that it's just a part of who I am
Running to hide
And you say it's not my problem
I'll decide out of mind
Yeah, we're running afraid
As we run with one another
Oh, the mess that we've made

"If I could see the garden place Before the fall, would things have changed? I wasn't there and neither were you But I take the blame as you should too, my friend"
I love this passage how it sums up the sentiment of the song - how human it is to fuck up. Yet we all must stop running away from our mistakes and face them - but hopefully not on our own.
