[Verse 1] I’ve been running through the dark all night, Boots in mud, can’t see the light, Something follows, breath on my neck, I hear his steps, I feel his threat. [Chorus] I’m running from a man I can’t outrun, Every road ends where it begun, He’s got my name, he knows my song, I’ve been him all along. [Verse 2] I see blood on my shaking hands, But I don’t know whose blood it stands, A broken door, a frightened face, Then nothing left but an empty place. [Chorus] I’m running from a man I can’t outrun, Every road ends where it begun, He breathes my air, he wears my skin, And I can’t tell where I end or begin. [Bridge] The harder I run, the closer I get, To the truth I’d rather forget, He don’t hide, he don’t chase slow, He’s right behind — and he won’t let go. [Verse 3] Now I stand by the river wide, See his face in the water’s tide, And when I reach to pull him near, All I find is my own fear. [Final Chorus] I’m running from a man I can’t outrun, He moves with me under the sun, He’s in my breath, he’s in my bones, And I die with him alone. [Outro] So if you hear me late at night, Talking low and out of sight, Don’t ask who I’m running from — There’s only room for one.
