verse 2 (same as first verse)
If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way

And keep it locked for days
I wanted you so desperately to believe me
chorus 2 ( same as first chorus)
Run, run, why are you running from another conversation?
Someone that I've been planning on, you're the one that finds me out.
There's nowhere, now I found you, that I won't go.

It will be weighing on your shoulder.
You've got that seed in you.
You've got that seed in you.
