Run Up the Steps, You're Really Here

Lyrics

Ten years of letters and a photograph
A train that's running late
I take the station stairs two at a time
Past the clock, past the gate

There's a coat I know among the crowd
A laugh I'd know in any sky
My heart is a drum, my feet are a song
And I'm not even going to try

Faster, faster, closer now
Every step a promise made

Run up the steps, you're really here
Ten long years collapse to one
Open arms and open air
And the whole bright world has just begun
Run up the steps, you're really here
No more oceans in between
I'll never let the distance
Have the last word on this scene

We stand there with our laughter and our tears
And all the words we planned
Fall away like coats on a warm spring day
In the circle of your hands

You say I haven't changed at all
I say the same of you
We've both grown older, both grown wise
And the old tune still rings true

Run up the steps, you're really here
Ten long years collapse to one
Open arms and open air
And the whole bright world has just begun
Run up the steps, you're really here
No more oceans in between
I'll never let the distance
Have the last word on this scene

Have the last word on this scene
