Ready to Run Lyrics – First Aid Kit

{Verse 1}

Oh, we are sensitive people afraid to say the wrong thing
So I walk home alone recalling everything
Whole conversations, play by play
I thought by this age I'd always know what to say

{Pre-Chorus}

But I've stopped making those conclusions
For all the nights that I've enjoyed
There's been a couple more that I've spent
Simply humbled by the void
And who did you think I was
When you first met me, moons ago?
When I wanted to kiss you forever
And, babe, you wanted to take it slow

{Chorus}

Take it slow
Take it slow

{Verse 2}

Did I disappoint you? I'm pretty sure I did
You thought I was some kind of rock star, I was a nervous little kid
And I assumed you were someone I could lean myself upon
But with the blink of an eye, you were out the door, gone

{Pre-Chorus}

So I've stopped making those conclusions
Thinking you could truly know someone
You peel a layer, find another
No, you're never really done
And who did I think you were
When we danced in the setting sun?
When you said that you'd love me forever
And I was getting ready to run

{Chorus}

Ready to run
Ready to run

{Bridge}

And who did I think I was
As I narrowed in closer to the sun?
And perhaps I'll feel like this forever
I'm always ready to run

{Chorus}

Ready to run
Ready to run

{Outro}

Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
Oh, it's already begun
I'm getting ready, ready to run
