Nowhere to Run

When we were young we were naive
Easy to please
Didn't question much 'bout love
Summers passed we got older,
A little bolder,
I didn't fit your circle much

Your sick of hearing that it's wrong
I promise that it won't be long
It will get better, give it time
But this won't change right on a dime
I know it feels like you're stuck here

When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until the stars shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until your colors shine right through
I know it's hard on you when
You got nowhere to run

Your treading water it's too deep
You just can't breathe
Is it ever good enough
All these battles inside you
They won't hide you
Just confess I know you're tough

These sticks and stone won't take you down
Just keep your head up 'round this town
You've got so many things to come
Yeah you're not close or near to done
Your voice is loud
Don't you give up
I know it feels like you're stuck here

When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until the stars shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run
I'll keep waiting
Until your colors shine right through

I see your pictures and they're painted all in black and blue
I've heard the scripture
It was written on the wall for you
I hear you screaming in the night when no one's listening
When you got no one

When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until the stars shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run
I'll keep waiting
Until your colors shine right through
When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until the stars shine bright for you
When you got nowhere to run
I'll be waiting
Until your colors shine right through
I know it's hard on you when
You got nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to run

I got nowhere
I got nowhere to run
I got nowhere
I got nowhere to run
I got nowhere
I got nowhere to run
I got nowhere
I got nowhere to run
