We Were Running Lyrics

We were running

Down a hill to the ocean below

Where we walked on the beach

With bare feet in the sand

Talkin' 'bout all the people we know

In the evening

That first night we were dancing so slow

Arms 'round each other, eyes locked together

Didn't know where this new thing would go

Well, the night was still young

So we walked through the dark

The air was cool

And the moonlight was stunning

But we lost track of time

And you said you were late

Had to get you back home before morning

We were running

Yeah, we were running

We were talking

On another night later on

About the things that we felt

The ideas that we shared and

How to tell what was right from what's wrong

After midnight

When the food and the wine were all gone

One more question I had

And you knew what it was

We both knew it would come all along

Yeah, we'd waited for this

'til we thought it was right

You know it sounded

Like destiny knocking

But you can never be sure

When you're reaching that stage

That you know which doors you're unlocking

We were talking

Yeah, we were talking

Oh, the joy, the love and the pain

Some days it's sunshine

And sometimes it's rain

We were dreaming

Of the life we'd have up ahead

All the trips and the plans

And the hopes and the dreams

Not the things that would happen instead

But they were good dreams

And some of them really did come true

The best part in my mind is getting to spend

The best part of my life with you

When we woke in the morning

The sheets wrapped around us

The half-open blinds let the light in

There was a smile on your face

As you lay next to me

And I was wondering what you were thinking

We were dreaming

Yeah, we were dreaming

We were running

Yeah, we were running

Yeah, we were running

Yeah, we were running
