Running Scared

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Driving late at night The signal's fading fast Out here on the perimeter of my past Map says there's no exits No run-off ramps to stop And the future's up there, down the road, in the dark [Pre-Chorus 1] Darling, whisper words Of hope into my ear The radio is fading And it's getting hard to hear [Chorus] And I'm running scared And I'm running scared And I'm running scared For so long now I've been running scared I've been running scared I've been running scared For so long now [Verse 2] Now I've got a million houses But I seldom feel at home I've got a lot of friends, but usually I'm alone Offer you no alibis Proffer no excuse Because I'm dying just for something to hang on to [Pre-Chorus 2] The pieces in this puzzle Never seem to fit Life is like a handgun And the hammer just went click [Chorus] And I'm running scared And I'm running scared And I'm running scared For so long now I've been running scared I've been running scared I've been running scared For so long now [Verse 3] Driving late at night You're kissing my neck Conditions--well, let's call them hazardous You whisper to my soul She's probing past my knee These are violent times, baby Wouldn't you agree? [Chorus] Oh, I've been running scared I've been running scared I've been running scared For so long now I've been running scared I've been running scared I've been running scared For so long now, now
