I Can Run

Heaven knows it hurts to feel nothing at all
When you're starin' in the eyes of the mirror hangin' on the wall
It's hard to face the truth or find a place to hide
Oh, when you numb it more and more
'Cause you're scared of what you're gonna find

I could run to the bottle 'til the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don't end
But I'm runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' like a bat out of hell
'Cause I can't outrun myself

I had to hit my knees and learn to walk again
Oh, I'm stumblin' and fallin'
Givin' it all I got to give
'Cause I'd rather be livin' in the light with my shadow
Than alone in the dark 'cause I've been there and I know

I could run to the bottle 'til the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
Oh, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don't end
But I'm runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' like a bat out of hell
Oh, I can't outrun myself
Can't outrun myself

I could run to the bottle 'til the bottle runs out
Hold down the throttle, take the long way around
Put the pedal to the metal with my reasons in the shotgun seat
Yeah, I could run on fumes, hell, I could run like the wind
I could run forever like the road don't end
But I'm runnin' out of reasons to keep runnin' like a bat out of hell
Oh, I can't outrun myself

Outrun myself
Can't outrun myself
Oh-oh
Outrun myself
