On The Run

Oh, honey, my pursuit comes at a cost
I'm tired of running up the hill
I can't live up to the rules they wrote for us
I'm living someone else's tale

But someday soon I will be by your side
I'll find my way back to you
I can't remember all the roads that I've crossed
But I can clearly see you still
So please, somebody bring me home

Oh, my love, I think I'm losing track
I've thrown myself into the flames
Now my lonely heart is longing to go back
But I do it all the time, I'm on the run from life

I've been driving without wheels for days and nights
I've seen myself turn into stone
I got scared when I broke down in tears one time
Looked in the mirror and lost hope

But I know the answer, it's as clear as day
Would you just talk some sense into me?
Don't waste away in those dreams
Don't trade your life for them, please
When you can be at peace and dream with me

Oh, my love, I think I'm losing track
I've thrown myself into the flames
Now my lonely heart is longing to go back
But I do it all the time, I'm on the run from life

I lay me down and get a lump in my throat
When I feel you come closer
I wanted to talk, but I choked up when you spoke
Heard your voice and I broke

I said, oh, my love, I think I'm losing track
I've thrown myself into the flames
Now my lonely heart is longing to go back
But I do it all the time, I'm on the run from life

Now my lonely heart is longing to go back
But I do it all the time, I'm on the run from life
I'm on the run
I'm on the run from life
