| It was better
|
| To keep my mouth shut
|
| And not say anything
|
| Like a love letter to a dying world
|
| But I couldn’t have that
|
| Wouldn’t take that
|
| And it was never going to get us anywhere
|
| What’s life but an opportunity
|
| To get somewhere else
|
| And you can beat your drum
|
| You can preach these lessons
|
| While you suck your thumb like a baby
|
| You can run on home
|
| And the only thing I’ve noticed
|
| Is that I’ve been feeling happier lately
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| Run, run, run, run on home
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| Now I can feel
|
| Like there’s a real life coming on
|
| And there’s no part that I don’t like
|
| And just leave it out, leave it out
|
| It’s complete
|
| I’m fire, fire
|
| That burns impossible
|
| I’m through with all the insecurity that kept me down
|
| And you can cheat your smile
|
| And you can reach out kindly
|
| You can run on home
|
| And the only thing you’ll notice
|
| Is that I’ve been doing a whole lot less crying
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| Run, run, run, run on home
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| I don’t want to wish you ill but I’ve got to get it out
|
| So hard to swallow this pill but I’ve got to keep it down
|
| I’ll see you standing by the river from the other side
|
| But this time I’ll know who I am
|
| I’m the better man
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| Run, run, run, run on home
|
| You can run, run, run, run on home
|
| Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you
|
| Don’t you talk about love
|
| Don’t you talk about love
|
| Now that I know, I know what love is |
