running away lyrics

I need a break from it all

Some space from it all for a minute

I’m trying to make sense of it all

This place is so unforgiving

Wanting and waiting

And somehow it’s another winter

Big plans and big dreams

Are over now



CHORUS:

‘Cause I’m running away,

running away

I gotta do it, make my escape from this world I’ve been living in

Nothing’s holding me down

I’m leaving this town

I gotta do it, deep down I know

That as long as I stay true,

It doesn’t matter where I’m running to



Standing alone in the crowd

Can’t find my way out but I’m trying

Everything’s within my reach

But everything seems like it’s nothing

When you’re looking for something

That’s better than what is around you

All these illusions are over now.



CHORUS:

‘Cause I’m running away,

running away

I gotta do it, make my escape from this world I’ve been living in

Nothing’s holding me down

I’m leaving this town

I gotta do it, deep down I know

That as long as I stay true,

It doesn’t matter where I’m running to



And all I wanted was someone

Who could see that I ain’t just like anybody

All I needed was someone who could

Tell me it’s all right



I’ve waited all this time to be a part of something

I want it so bad and there’s no reason to it.

Looking back ‘Cause now I know I finally feel alive



CHORUS:

‘Cause I’m running away,

running away

I gotta do it, make my escape from this world I’ve been living in

Nothing’s holding me down

I’m leaving this town

I gotta do it, deep down I know

That as long as I stay true,

It doesn’t matter where I’m running to
