Run away

by StandStill   Mar 14, 2008


Feet thumping
on hard packed ground
heart pumping
on silent wings, no sound

how far can i run
before i have to stop
how far to go
before i am at the top?

i wanna run away
so far that i can't look back
i wanna run away
but maybe tomorrow, not today

these second guesses
are gettin old
so are our feet
there keep gettin cold

why do you keep trying
to play hide and seek?
don't you wanna visit?
get to know me?

i guess not
you cast me down
but i'll paint on a fake smile
i don't remember how to frown

i wanna run away
so far that i can't look back
i wanna run away
but maybe tomorrow, not today

i can tell
that i am wasting my time
looking for somebody
to call mine

so i'm gonna run away
and i'm never looking back
i'm leaving today
before my heart cracks
