And He Runs

Off you go inside your mind again

Your legs must shake from the memories you chase 'round your head

I beg you no but there you go to find a version of you that's dead

I don't know why I let myself bear the cuts every time

You shatter our life to chase what you can't leave behind

Your body's here but it is clear you're always searching for what you cannot find

And you shut me out once more, I don't know what you're looking for

And you turn your back on me, I'm getting used to all the secrecy

Each time I watch you go the distance 'tween us grows and grows

You may run in one place but I can't keep up this chase

And he runs

You must be tired running wild tryna chase your past

And he runs

You run the time out when you find out that your legs can't last

And he runs

You can't escape it, you can't change it, this race can't be won

Ooh, he runs

But still you always run

And just like that you go to hide your heart deep down below

And just choose to ignore the brewing of our coming war

And you seem to find such ease to leave while I fight desperately

While you're off in the stars I'm nursing battle scars

And he runs

Now aren't you tired running wild tryna chase your past?

And he runs

You'll run your mind out when you find out that your lungs can't last

And he runs

You cannot change it or escape it this race can't be won

Ooh, he runs

And still you'll always

And you have no idea what you put us through

It doesn't take long to trace it back to you

So you can run and run, and run, and run until you drop

But for me, I'll finally stop

But he runs and he runs, and he runs, and he runs

You must be tired running wild tryna chase your past

You'll run your mind out when you find out that your legs can't last

And he runs, and he runs, and he runs

You cannot change it or escape it this race can't be won

And he runs, and he runs, and he runs

But still you always run

You run in circles jumping hurdles tryna turn back time

And he runs, and he runs, and he runs

And in your chase you will erase your place within my life

And he runs, and he runs, and he runs

So go and run now, chase the sun down, my time's just begun

And he runs, and he runs, and he runs

While you would much rather run

So go and turn your back on the sun

Still you always

Run
