Run

Drop me off in my one-horse town
One road with no way out
I'm watching you go, and it's eating at me
You know this town makes jokes out of your dreams
Another night, my dad's on the couch
And my mom's passed out in her bed
They wish they could've traveled more
And gone down other roads, it's so sad
Out of this house, I just wanna break free
But this shadow always got its arm around me

You said, "Tonight, we can get out together
Maybe it's only one night
From all the fake people and our mistakes
We'll run for our lives, run
We'll run for our lives, run
We'll run for our lives, run
From all the fake people and our mistakes
We'll run for our lives, run"

Another night in a one-horse town
Road with no way out, I fear
Do I grow up just to watch the years
Pass right by me 'til my lights go down?
Is all of this for nothing, or is there something more
Than just waiting for a savior to come knock on my door?
There's a lot of open land
But not many doors to open
I thought I had chosen a path
Now that path is closing
Roads are out there, do I still have a chance
To write a better ending? Not the same song and dance

I thought that my life would be better
Instead, all my dreams lay denied
I'm taking one last look at these empty streets
And I'll run for my life
Run

You said, "Tonight, we can get out together
Maybe it's only one night
From all the fake people and our mistakes
We'll run for our lives, run
We'll run for our lives, run
We'll run for our lives, run
From all the fake people and our mistakes
We'll run for our lives, we'll run for our lives"
