[00:07.69]Because I alway...
[00:07.69]Because I always feel like running
[00:11.80]Not away,
[00:12.30]Because there is no such place
[00:15.24]Because if there was,
[00:16.20]I would have found it by now
[00:19.26]Because it's easier to run,
[00:21.20]Easier than staying and finding out,
[00:23.21]You're the only one,
[00:24.21]Who didn't run.
[00:52.10]Because running will be the way,
[00:53.73]Your life and mine,
[00:54.80]Will be described.
[00:56.19]As in "the long run",
[00:59.00]Or as in having "given someone a run for his money",
[01:02.74]Or as in "running out of time".
[01:05.57]Because running makes me look like everyone else,
[01:08.56]Though I hope there will never be cause for that.
[01:12.26]Because I will be running in the other direction,
[01:15.68]Not running for cover.
[01:44.10]Because if I knew where cover was,
[01:46.25]I would stay there and never have to run for it.
[01:49.41]Not running for my life,
[01:51.25]Because I have to be running for something of more value,
[01:54.10]To be running and not in fear
[01:56.59]Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped,
[01:59.90]Eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
[02:05.10]Not without showing the fear as I see it now.
[02:12.86]Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
[02:16.46]Because of you and because of that nice
[02:19.48]That you quietly, quickly be causing,
[02:23.20]And because you're going to see me run soon,
[02:25.93]And because you're going to know why I'm running then.
[02:29.70]You'll know then,
[02:30.82]Because I'm not going to tell you now
