[Sequence: Guitar Intro | Verse 1 | Pre-Chorus | Chorus | Instrumental Hook | Verse 2 | Pre-Chorus | Chorus | Guitar Solo | Bridge | Final Chorus | Outro] [Intro | Driving Guitar Riff] [Drums Slam In] [Verse 1] I was always looking past you at some place I'd never been. Thought the world was waiting for me just beyond the edge of town. You never tried to stop me. You just watched me drive away. I thought leaving meant I'd find myself... Funny what you learn too late. [Pre-Chorus] Every road I took just turned me around. Every place I went made me miss this town. And every night one truth came through... Every mile away led back to you. [Chorus] I'M RUNNING BACK TO YOU! No matter how far I've gone! Running back to everything I should've known all along! I don't know if you'll forgive me. I don't know what you'll do. But I've spent too many nights running from the truth... NOW I'M RUNNING BACK TO YOU! [Backing Vocals] BACK TO YOU! [Instrumental Hook | Guitar and Synth] [Verse 2] I've seen lights from distant cities. I've heard strangers call my name. Found out everywhere looks different when you're lonely just the same. I had everything I asked for. Still something wasn't right. 'Cause freedom isn't much like freedom when you're wishing every night... You were home. [Pre-Chorus] Every road I took just turned me around. Every dream I chased couldn't drown you out. Maybe I had to lose my way... To know exactly where I should've stayed. [Chorus] I'M RUNNING BACK TO YOU! No matter how far I've gone! Running back to everything I should've known all along! I don't know if you'll forgive me. I don't know what you'll do. But I've spent too many nights running from the truth... NOW I'M RUNNING BACK TO YOU! [Backing Vocals] BACK TO YOU! BACK TO YOU! [Guitar Solo | Melodic, Soaring, Anthemic] [Bridge | Half-Time] I don't expect you to forget the night I left. And I won't tell you I've become some better man yet. All I know is somewhere between leaving and tonight... I stopped asking what was waiting out there... And started asking what I left behind. [Drums Build] So if there's still a light on... I'm coming home. [Full Band Explosion] [Final Chorus] I'M RUNNING BACK TO YOU! WITH EVERYTHING I'VE GOT! Running back to the one thing distance couldn't make me stop! You can tell me that it's over. You can tell me we're through. But I had to turn around and finally tell the truth... I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU! [Backing Vocals] BACK TO YOU! [Male Vocal] I'm coming home! [Backing Vocals] BACK TO YOU! [Male Vocal] Whatever happens when I get there! I'M RUNNING BACK... RUNNING BACK... RUNNING BACK TO YOU! [Outro | Main Guitar Riff] [Drums Driving] [Music Pulls Back Slightly] [Male Vocal] Then I saw your porch light... Still burning. [Pause] [Soft Male Vocal] I didn't know if it was for me. [Main Guitar Hook Returns] But I turned in anyway. [Final Huge Chord] [End]
