"Running"
Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one...who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in "the long run"
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now
Not away, because there is no such place
Because, if there was I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one...who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described
As in "the long run"
Or as in having given someone a "run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will ever be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now
"Correndo"
Porque eu sempre senti que devia correr
não de algo, porque isso não existe
porque, se tivesse isso eu já o teria encontrado
porque é mais fácil correr,
mais fácil que ficar e perceber que você foi o único... que não correu
porque correndo será o único modo pelo qual sua vida e a minha serão descritas
como na "linha de chegada"ou como fazer alguém "correr pra ganhar o seu dinheiro"
ou como "correr atrás do tempo"
porque correr me faz parecer como o resto do mundo, ainda que eu espere que aquilo não seja a causa disso
porque eu vou correr em outras direções, não pra buscar abrigo
porque se eu soubesse onde o abrigo era, eu teria ficado lá e nunca corrido pra isso
não correndo pela minha vida, porque eu tenho que ficar correndo pra algo mais valioso para ficar correndo e não em medo
porque a coisa que eu temo não posso escapá-la, iludí-la, evitá-la, esconder-me dela, proteger-me dela, fugir dela,
não sem mostrar o medo como eu o vejo agora
porque mais próximo, mais claro, não senhor, mais perto
por sua causa e por causa daquele bem
que você quietamente, rapidamente vai causando
e porque você vai me ver correndo logo e porque você vai saber porque eu estarei correndo então
você saberá então
porque eu não lhe contarei agora
