Lyrics Running Away - John Butler Trio

Running Away

Tonight I feel unclean
Like a broken machine
I’m choking up
On the fear and the doubt
Words can’t convey
What I’m trying to say
I’m bottle necking
Trying to get it all out
And I dig through stone
And blood and bones
I dig so deep now
I can’t even see
Feel just like an archaeologist
Trying to find out what happened to me
But no longer
Running and running
And running and running away
I’m not
Running and running
And running and running away
No more
Somewhere long ago
Down a dead end road
Something pulled the rug
From under my feet
Caught me by surprise
Kicked mud in my eyes
That’s when my engine
Started to seize
And I held it down
Pushed it under ground
I said: «I never wanna feel that again»
Held them all away
So I can feel safe
And I guess that’s how I’ve been dealing
But no longer
Tell me where the map has gone
Because I
I don’t wanna be alone any longer
I don’t want to feel this way
About you
I just want to help you grow and be stronger
But I don’t want to compromise
Anymore
And you don’t want to live with lies anymore so
Tell me where the map has gone
Because I
I don’t wanna be alone any longer
Running and running
And running and running away
I’m not
Running and running
And running and running away
No more
