Verse 1 I am the runner, Yeah, I keep movin’ down the line. There’s a shadow right behind me, But I pretend it isn’t mine. People call my number— Say I owe a little time. But I’m always changin’ highways, ’Cause the truth ain’t what I like to find. Chorus And I run, and I run, and I run— From the things I should’ve done. Yeah, I run, and I run, and I run— Till the daylight starts to come. ’Cause responsibility Keeps on chasin’ after me, So I run… oh, I run. Verse 2 I hear the warnings Like a radio in rain. Try to tune it out completely, But the signal stays the same. People talk about growing— I just call it standing still. So I keep on changing cities ’Cause the quiet hurts me more than the thrill. Chorus And I run, and I run, and I run— From the things I should’ve done. Yeah, I run, and I run, and I run— Till the daylight starts to come. ’Cause responsibility Keeps on chasin’ after me, So I run… oh, I run. Bridge I know one day the chase will end, And the truth will catch my breath… But until that moment hits me, I’ll be racin’ from the rest. ’Cause the world keeps askin’ questions That I never plan to face— So I keep on movin’ forward Like I’m losin’ to the race. Final Chorus And I run, and I run, and I run— From the things I should’ve done. Yeah, I run, and I run, and I run— Till the daylight starts to come. If responsibility Ever lays its hands on me— I’ll still run… oh, I’ll run. Outro
