Outrun Blues

I can’t outrun these blues

I can’t outrun yours too

Under this cashmere moon

We don’t know what to do.

Our tears joined us in the pool that night,

I held onto to you way too tight

We both knew it

You said you hurt her oh so bad

And that I wouldn’t I understand

But I said I do believe I can

But I can’t outrun these blues

And I can’t outrun yours too

Head first into the drowning pool

Thrashing about like a fool

When we came together we were gasping for air

Knowing that love would take its fair share

We kept sailing on from there

Tradewinds to a love affair

That walked on water

And sank at the altar.

Repeat chorus 1

Love, they say, is a mystery

Not letting go,

As emptiness overflows

I’m a prisoner of my history.
