A Running Start
 作词 : Sufjan Stevens
 If I imagine myself peaceful on the fire escape
 Head first, my hands inside my T-shirt, as we run away

 So now we have a running start
 My body moves in mystic ways
 I cross my arms to shield my heart
 As if everything turns into waves

 I see the light upon the lake
 The silver moon, the water snake
 A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
 Forgotten tales, a wild beast

 I know, I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss
 Don't go, my lovely pantomime, receive of me my only wish

 If I align myself with Pisces in a funny way
 Can you, my lover, kiss my bracelet, and my shoulder blades?

 We've always had a running start
 I jump between the trampolines
 You throw your arms around my heart
 As if to say you're all I need

 The winter pines, the lonely drake
 The light beneath the frozen lake
 A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
 Forgotten tales, a wild beast

 I know, I know the time has come to ask you for a kiss
 Don't go, my lovely pantomime, receive of me my only wish
