Jes Perry: Tunes
Running Scared
Verse 1
Pictures turn from brown to gray. Hair on my head is going the same way. Raindrops wash my memories away.
Verse2
Traffic starts then comes to a stand still. Flowers die on my windowsill. You don't even care what I'm going thru'.
Transition
Did you lie with her did you die with her, did you dream with her? Did you sigh with her, did you cry with her, did you scream with her?
Chorus
And I don't want to know, I don't really care. I don't want to see, it's too much to bear. I don't want to know, you're not playing fair. I don't want to hear that you're running scared again.
Verse 3
Stepping out of my front door, feeling good I wonder what for, boredom's at the core of everything. Cats are dancing on my head, cry like the wind crowing to be fed. It's not real no matter how it feels.
Transition
Are you caught by her are you fraught with her, are you so in love? Are you bought by her now in doubt of her, are you cruel to her?
Chorus
And I don't want to know, I don't really care. I don't want to see, it's too much to bear. I don't want to know, you're not playing fair. I don't want to hear that you're running scared again.
Bridge
Saying do as you say and not as you do. Playing catch with her and breaking all the rules, you’ve got the moves to go breaking hearts again.
Chorus
And I don't want to know, I don't really care. I don't want to see, it's too much to bear. I don't want to know, you're not playing fair. I don't want to hear that you're running scared again.

Verse1
All I need is a simple song. A place to lay the words down, the ones that refuse to come when I'm with you, when I'm with you.
Verse 2
And all I want is to rhyme this reason. To turn it inside out and strip it to the bone. To feel just like you, I'm vulnerable just like you... I am.
chorus
And it feels like I've been shot with a gun. And I know that I'm not the only one to discover complications. I've discovered complications in this poem.
Verse 3
And all I long for is to say the way I feel. But if I say the words I'm afraid I'll watch you leave, I can't live without you, don't wanna live without you - please stay.
Chorus
And it feels like I've been shot thru' a gun. And I know that I'm not the only one to discover complications, I've discovered complications in this poem... In this song... In this love... I love you, Hush
