Lyrics Run A Mile - Late Night Alumni

Run A Mile

Wasn’t quite sure before, but now I’m believing
I know there were necessary things about you leaving
Maybe I knew right well how I was on about it
Twice over and again I learned to doubt it
And I’m sorry.
I blew it
I’ll never say there ain’t nothin' to it
And I saw it and I knew it
I know you know what it’s still doing
Thought if I gave an inch, you might not run a mile
Baby now I see why the Mona Lisa smiles
She smiles at me.
x5
Thought I might still try to soften up the edges
I backed up, stepped away and you still seemed restless
And I saw it and I knew it
I recognize what it’s still doing
I deserved it, you knew it
You stood close to the line when I drew it
Thought if I gave an inch, you might not run a mile
Baby now I see why the Mona Lisa smiles
She smiles at me.
x3
And I saw it and I knew it
I closed my eyes to stride right through it
Had it coming and I knew it
I needed it and now I’ve gone through it
Thought if I gave an inch, you might not run a mile
Baby now I see why the Mona Lisa smiles
Thought if I gave an inch, you might not run a mile
Baby now I see why the Mona Lisa smiles
She smiles at me.
