[Verse 1] I saw you by the fence Where the pumpkins bled out orange You laughed at the full moon Like it wasn't watching I kept to the hedges Black coat, hands in my pockets Your name on my tongue Like a match in a coffin [Pre-Chorus] One step, two steps I should turn away But your eyes hit harder Than the knife I came to play One step, two steps Now my pulse misfires You were meant for the dark Then you lit my wires [Chorus] Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear I came to take your fear Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear Now I want you near (near, near) [Verse 2] You dropped your little charm At the edge of the porch light I picked it up slow Like a vow in the night Every house on the block Had its windows shut tight But you looked back at me And the whole room went white I was built for the hunt For the thrill of the chase Now I'm staring at you Like a prayer with no face There's a scratch on my palm Where your fingers almost touched Funny how one little glance Can ruin a man this much [Pre-Chorus] One step, two steps I should turn away But your eyes hit harder Than the knife I came to play One step, two steps Now my pulse misfires You were meant for the dark Then you lit my wires [Chorus] Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear I came to take your fear Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear Now I want you near (near, near) [Bridge] [Half-time] If I let you go Would the night forgive me? If I let you live Would you still come with me? I was all teeth Now I'm all need Say my name soft And I'll set you free [Final Chorus] Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear I came to take your fear Don't run, my dear Don't run, my dear Now I want you near Near, near My sweetest fear Don't run, my dear
