[Verse 1]
You could have been the kiss of my life
You could have been the death of me
It could have been that I was just too scared
To wait around and see

[Verse 2]
You could have been a guardian angel
I coulda been the wicked one
Besides the buttons on our shirts, darlin'
What else did we leave undone?

[Chorus]
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Maybe it was time slippin' through our hands

[Verse 3]
Maybe I was tryin' to tell you
That I'd never known a love so strong
Maybe in the shadows of the night
We just couldn't tell right from wrong

[Verse 4]
Maybe it's a real-life story
Livin' with the sad regrets
Maybe it was just a sweet dream
Of somethin' that I can't forget
[Chorus]
When we ran
When we ran
When we ran
Maybe it was time slippin' through our hands

[Bridge]
You only had to say the word
And I would have turned around and heard
But as it is we can't turn back

[Verse 5]
The mind is just a trash can, baby
Ooh, and the memories, rolling dice
We had somethin' one time
But we thought about it twice

[Chorus]
And we ran
We ran (And we ran)
Oh we ran
Maybe it was time slippin' through our hands
Through our hands
Right through our hands
