Running Away Songtext
von 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
