Runnin' Through

(for Jody 1965 - 1998)

It doesn't bother me to talk about you
'Cause not a day goes by
That you're not on my mind
It doesn't bother me oh to speak your name
It's the nights when I'm alone
While thoughts of you keep runnin' through my brain

You keep runnin' through my head
A song I can't quite remember
I give up I wave the white flag
Baby I surrender
You keep runnin' through my head
Like a wound there is no cure for
But baby that is one affliction
I would gladly take as my addiction
Ohhhh

I know that only time will make it better
But so far that's not true
'Cause I still go to pieces over you
I know that only time oh will ease this pain
But each night I'm still alone
And thoughts of you keep runnin' through my brain

You keep runnin' through my head
Like a piece of broken mirror
I can't even see your whole face
I need to be much clearer
You keep runnin' through my head
And that's just where I need you
'Cause if I lose you there as well
I'll just die inside an empty shell
Ohhh

I'll never see you
I'll never touch you
I just can't believe you're gone
Like a snap of my fingers
I need to hold you
I need to feel you
How could you leave us now
When the scent of you still lingers
On my skin

It only bothers me to think about you
Every second of every day
Every night you're in my way
It only bothers me oh to feel insane
'Cause you're never comin' back
And thoughts of you keep runnin' through my brain

You keep runnin' through my head
Like a story with no ending
Never to know happiness
There ain't no use pretending
You keep runnin' through my head
And that's where I'm gonna keep you
But baby I refuse to cry and
And what I feel for you will never die
Ohhh

Forever
