A Running Start

A Running Start - Sufjan Stevens

Lyrics by：Sufjan Stevens

If I imagine myself peaceful on the fire escape

Head first my hands inside my T shirt as we run away

So now we have a running start

My body moves in mystic ways

I cross my arms to shield my heart

As everything turns into waves

I see the light upon the lake

The silver moon the water snake

A pair of eyes a gentle breeze

Forgotten tales a wild beast

I know I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss

Don't go my lovely pantomime receive of me my only wish

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

If I align myself with Pisces in a funny way

Can you my lover kiss my bracelet and my shoulder blades

We've always had a running start

I jump between the trampolines

You throw your arms around my heart

As if to say you're all I need

The winter pines the lonely drake

The light beneath the frozen lake

A pair of eyes a gentle breeze

Forgotten tales a wild beast

I know I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss

Don't go my lovely pantomime receive of me my only wish

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
