A Million Ways to Run

Lyrics

In the basement of the church I took the last chair in the room Embarrassed and ashamed But that all began to change When she stood up and spoke her truth She said I came here years ago When I lost my sanity I hit an all-time low But then I found serenity I took shelter hiding from the pain In any place to make it go away In the arms of a stranger Keeping company with danger Or staring down the barrel of a gun At the bottom of a bottle Getting numb with every swallow 'Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done With a million ways to run I was the first one out the door But her words echoed in my head I took the long way home But no longer felt alone 'Cause I'd lived everything she said I thought about lost moments of my past And then I knew, there was no going back To the arms of a stranger Keeping company with danger Or staring down the barrel of a gun The bottom of a bottle Getting numb with every swallow 'Cause it's easy, when it's what you've always done With a million ways to run There's a freedom I have found In staying on the ground Long enough to chase those demons down And I thank God I know I'm not the only one With a million ways to run
