lyrics

I had to keep on moving
there is no fooling
no disguise
early morning before the light
not another car in sight
riding down the dotted line and I wonder
if I could get away

I knew I could not stay
I just had to get away, runaway
I left the place in flames
I just had to get away, runaway

I left the place in ruins
I’m only human
There is no crime
change my number and name online
pull the money I set aside
pack my things to see if I really mean it
if I would get away

I could not bear to fade
I just had to get away, runaway
I wrecked the plans I made
I just had to get away, runaway

I think that I was dreaming
but barely breathing
paralyzed
I’m holding out for something that I haven’t found
I’m turning up the dial so I can hear it loud
I’m pressing on the pedal just to feel the sound of the wind blow
I had to get away

I was so damn afraid
I just had to get away, runaway
I knew I could not change
I just had to get away, runaway
