running away

John Butler Trio

Tonight I feel unclean
Like a broken machine
I m choking up on the fear and the doubt
Words can t convey
What I m trying to say
I m bottle necking
Trying to get it all out
And I dig through stones and blood and bones
I dig so deep now I can t even see
Feel just like an archaeologist
Trying to find out what happened to me
But no longer

Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
And running away
No more
Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
And running away
No more

Somewhere long ago
Down a dead end road
Something pulled the rug
From under my feet
Caught me by surprise
Kicked mud in my eyes
That s when my engine started to seize
And I held it down
Pushed it under ground
I said: I never wanna feel that again
Held them all away
So I can feel safe
And I guess that s how I ve been dealing
But no longer

Tell me where the map has gone
Because I, I don t wanna be alone any longer
I don t want to feel this way about you
I just want to help you grow and be stronger
But I don t want to compromise anymore
And you don t want to live with lies anymore so
Tell me where the map has gone
Because I, I don t wanna be alone any longer

Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
And running away
No more
Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
Nd running away
No more
Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
And running away
No more
Running and running and running
And running away
I m not
Running and running and running
And running away
No more

Don t wanna run no
Don t wanna run no more
Don t wanna run no
Don t wanna run no more
Don t wanna run no
Don t wanna run no more
Don t wanna run no
