lyrics

At a house on College Street
There's a name on a willow tree
That you carved when I wasn't there

You were always on a mission
In the shade reading short fiction
When you turned to me and said

"If you wanted to run from me
I couldn't stop you now
If you wanted to run from me
I couldn't stop you"

Five years have passed since I last touched down
I see no point in starting now
But often I think of turning up unannounced
"Hey Ellie, how did your old book turn out?"

If you wanted to run from me
I couldn't stop you now
If you wanted to run from me
I couldn't stop you

I didn't see it till it passed me by
I didn't notice till it wasn't there
Just this vague sense that the story didn't turn out right
Hit the cover again - can we give it another try?

If you wanted to love me
I couldn't stop you now
If you wanted to love me
I couldn't stop you

If you wanted to love me
(The story didn't turn out right)
