Running In Place

i'm not afraid to say i love you anymore
were those the words you waited for?
there was a time three words could make
all the difference in the world
it's not enough to save us anymore

if you've got something to say
please say it to my face
don't hold me hostage
in a shallow embrace
i know i could eat my words
no matter how they taste
we just can't keep on
running in place

the way your wit and grace
could make me insecure
you raised my pulse and temperature
these hands were trembling when they
reached to pull you in
the first kiss, the second i was sure

if you've got something to say
please say it to my face
don't hold me hostage
in a shallow embrace
i know i could eat my words
no matter how they taste
we just can't keep on
running in place
