Run

You text me late at night
Saying you need someone to be there
Or the darkness in your mind might get you

I call you
And you cry and vent and let your heart out
I hear the desperation in your voice
I wish I could crawl through the phone to you.
I wish I could grab my keys and run
Run
          Run 
                    Run
All the way to you.
I wish I could hold you in my arms 
Hold you tight
Keep you safe from the cruel world
