It's Alright (I'm Runnin' Away)

It's been so long
In this world
And still not a place that
Feels like home

Been to a hundred
Met 'bout a thousand
Still at midnight
I'm alone

And i don't think it's
Something wrong with me
It's just the way
I was born to be

At a place i don't like
Kissin' somebody new tonight
The music is loud but ain't my type
My friends drinkin' but i'm sober, alright
I've been thinkin' about this all night
Might run away and catch a flight
Settle down in an island out of sight
Might never come back but that's alright

(Might never come back but that's alri--)

Back to reality
I'm dancin' on my own
Somebody said they saw me
Asked if I'm alone

So they brought a friend sayin'
"How you doin' hun?"
I said, "I was good til'
You went and barged in on"

"see, I'm not another
Not a one night stand
I either want it all
Or you can leave, thanks."

Might have been harsh 'cause then he ran
And I was surrounded by ten of his friends
Said i was nothing more than means to an end
Fucked up his own damn game, raised a hand

They thought it'd scare me
But i came prepared
The gun that i pulled out
Took them all by a flare

(flare, flare, flare)

The cops came in after a while
I wouldn't know what happened next
I took my words to heart
Sittin' on a plane right now to Halifax

Have a good feelin' about movin', been silent
Met some shitty people, i've been violent
Spent my whole life wishin' for an island
Think they got a few and i might try 'em

I just landed, feels like a better place
Don't know about them, but I'm all for a chase
I might be wrong, which would end in a similar case
But for now i'm home, and have a whole new life to create
