Runaway

I couldn't tell you what it's all about
I keep trying but it never comes out
Losing hope around the holiday
I keep praying and praying for an escape

But it will never happen anyway
I'll keep working, working 'til I break
And it never feels quite the same
But it's the same shit, just a different day

I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll run away, run away

And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing
Some job, I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll run away, run away
Run away, run away

And we just never quite get it
Make the wrong choice and never get it right
We drink the night away to feel like we're living
Yeah, it's the only thing that gets us by

Paycheck and your patience's gone
Your last three bucks were spent on my songs
In a jukebox with all your friends, yeah
You'll never learn, no, you'll never

And I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll run away, run away

And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing
Some job, I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll run away, run away
Run away, run away

Say what you wanna, I have my problems
Maybe someday, I'll find time to solve them
I tried my best, got lost in the haze
It's sad, but the truth won't make things okay

I'll break the system, won't say a word
Straight to the deep end, say that I'm cursed
Take life for granted 'cause I'll never learn
The truth will break you down with every word

And I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll run away, run away

And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing
Some job, I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll run away, run away

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away
