Saw your face on the wall Under the cracked blue glass Wanted in the rain By a town that moves too fast Your boots left dust on the stairs Your name in the shop window I kept it in my coat Like a match I couldn’t blow And I heard that siren song Down the station block You were already gone But the shadow wouldn’t stop Wanted, wanted I keep your name in my mouth Wanted, wanted Like a pulse I can’t turn down Wanted, wanted If you’re running, run to me Wanted, wanted Say my name and set me free Late train, empty seats Your note in a paper cup “Meet me where the river bends” Then the whole night folded up Street signs spun like saints In the fog by the overpass I saw you in every face Then you vanished in the glass And I heard that siren song Down the station block You were already gone But the shadow wouldn’t stop Wanted, wanted I keep your name in my mouth Wanted, wanted Like a pulse I can’t turn down Wanted, wanted If you’re running, run to me Wanted, wanted Say my name and set me free In the blue of the morning I found your coat on the chair No one saw you leaving But your breath was still there So if the border closes And the gates come crashing down I’ll wear the word like armor Till you circle back around Wanted, wanted I keep your name in my mouth Wanted, wanted Like a pulse I can’t turn down Wanted, wanted If you’re running, run to me Wanted, wanted Say my name and set me free
