Lyrics

[Intro: Brad Barr] Ah-ah [Verse 1] If this is the deal, then I'm reeling and I'm ready to go Head into the light, like so many times Now I know what I didn't know For too many years, I been dragging around that shame Like a dark black spot burned into my heart Like a dog without a name Breaking the mirror, like a habit Like the one I own I own Running a fever in my ears, hear the local police On my roof for a burden of proof And now I'm dreaming in Japanese [Chorus] Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it And I don't know why I was running that day Maybe I was afraid of feeling that way Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it I been on the run, ever since I was young Ever since I could say, "I don't want to feel that way." [Verse 2] When I was young, I saw the world and the colors in bloom Spent a long time going out of my mind Now I'm circling to the womb Why would I need to be worried, to be living in fear? Like a long lost child coming in from the wild; I was gone, then I reappear [Chorus] Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it And I don't know why I was running that day Maybe I was afraid of feeling that way Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it I been on the run, ever since I was young Ever since I could say, "I don't want to feel that way." [Verse 3] Does anyone else here feel like they committed a crime? Laid it on the line one too many times Was dying on the vine Over the hill, and I'm losing the static on the radio Took a long drive last Saturday night With no particular place to go Breaking the mirror, like a habit Like the one I own I own! [Bridge] And as the days go by turning into our lives, into pictures upon a wall As the days go by in the blink of an eye how do we get along with it all? If we could only look at our lives in terms of the number of days to go Instead of me, myself, and my time, my pride You gotta' laugh, you gotta' laugh, you gotta' laugh, you gotta' laugh [Chorus] Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it And I don't know why I was running that day Maybe I was afraid of feeling that way Running, and we're running, and we're running And we'll run right into it I been on the run, ever since I was young Ever since I could say, "I don't want to feel that way."
