Dad, I'm home, I know it's late, but I'd just like to come inside, if you don't mind
I'm cold and tired, my feet are sore, there's only so much running I can do before
I have to stop and catch my breath
Look around me, I confess I don't quite know where I'm going
And the only place I know right now is where I could always just be a child in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
Just gather me up and fold me in your arms
I'll close my eyes and I'll forget what I'm running from
Dad, I'm back, it's been a while, it feels like a lifetime between then and now
So much to tell, but then again I wouldn't have a clue how to begin
Because there comes a time when you go your way, I go mine
And you can no longer own my stories
Sometimes there's too much to say, I'd rather just keep quiet
Would rather just stay here in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
Just gather me up and fold me in your arms
I'll close my eyes and I'll forget what I'm running from
What I'm running from
In your arms, in your arms
Just gather me up and fold me in your arms
I'll close my eyes and I'll forget what I'm running from (Close my eyes and I'll forget)
What I'm running from
What I'm running from
What I'm running from
