I was on my way out when you stopped me.
My bags and excuses weren't helping.
So I listened to what you had to say.
I knew you wanted me to stay.
You let me into your life
I let you into mine.
Can I still run away if I give you my hand?
And when I come back, where will you stand?
I don't know what you're thinking.
Maybe you'll forget me.
I don't know where you're going
Or what feelings you're holding.
I love you more than anything
I'm just scared of breathing.
I want to run away
'Cause that's what I do.
Who will finally chase me?
I hope it's you.
Interpret it any way you wish, because I really have no idea.
Actually, I do. This is definitely coming from me. I like to run away when things get to a certain point, to see if anyone will chase me. So far, no one has. So, it's kind of me saying. "I'm about to run away, will you chase me? Or when I come back will you be gone?"
But, it doesn't matter. Find some meaning in it for yourself.

It's good that it has such an open interpretation, and yet such a stand out meaning to me at the same time, that's a sign of a good poet in my eyes. Well done ^^
