on the run

Nina Nesbitt

I lit a burning log
Left food out for the dogs and tiptoed down
I put the shoes on by the door
Those creakin wooden boards didn t make a sound

I ll be thinkin of you, love
I ll be missin your sweet touch
But I ve got far to go

Cause I m on the run
I ve been standin still for way too long
I wanna live like I m forever young
Tryna hold it down just ain t no fun
I ll pack a bag and leave before the sun
And I ll take the long windin roads
And when they call, blame it on rock and roll
Start again, forget the things I ve done
If they ask you where I ve gone, I m on the run
(I m on the run, I m on the run)

You ve been a little lost
Workin round the clock toein the line
You re in a world you don t belong
Tryna find your way back home
But you could stay a while on the passenger side
There s books to read and songs to write
If you wanna leave this town
I could turn the car around
You could say your goodbyes
Get outta here tonight

Come on the run
Cause you ve been standin still for way too long
Life s too short to not live while you re young
Tryna hold it down just ain t no fun
Let s pack a bag and leave before the sun
And we ll take the long windin roads
And drive up to the lochs I used to know
You can buy a postcard, write it to your mum
Sayin you miss her
But for now, you re on the run
(I m on the run)

Try to hold me down, oh, I ll go on the run (Go on the run)
Let s leave this town tonight
come on the run (Come on the run)
We could spend our lives on the run
