Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Feeling like I'm falling

I've been getting uptight

Staring at the ceiling

Trying to get it just right

You know what's on my mind

I can't look you in the eye

I'm getting on the freeway

Underneath the night sky

I'm a little wallflower

Singing 'One Headlight'

Looking for a sign

Superstitions make me blind

[Verse 2]

I'm sick of running from a past life

I don't care about the next one

Am I running from the moment?

Or the city where I come from?

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

'Cause I've been running from a past life

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

[Verse 3]

Today I saw my reflection

In a broken window

Gave me a flashback

Crying in my pillow

It's not my first time

On this rodeo ride

Because I never got be young

I was born an old soul

I feel like Bob Dylan's son

Always in the shadows

I've gotta find my own

Way to write a song

[Verse 4]

I'm sick of running from a past life

I don't care about the next one

Am I running from the moment?

Or the city where I come from?

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

'Cause I'm running from a past life

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

[Verse 5]

Can we take back

All these lies that

Added up to wasted

Years and wasted time?

Let's make it right

Here in this life

After all we've been through

There's nothing left to lose

[Verse 6]

I'm sick of running from a past life

(Running from a past life)

I don't care about the next one

(I don't care about the next one)

Am I running from the moment?

(Am I running from the moment?)

Or the city where I come from?

(Or the city where I come from?)

Right now I'm feeling like a stranger

(Feeling like a stranger)

Don't recognize the voice inside my head

'Cause I've been running from a past life

(Running from a past life)

I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live

I wanna live this life instead

[Verse 7]

I wanna live, I wanna live this life instead

I wanna live, I wanna live this life instead

I wanna live, I wanna live this life, live this life

Sick of running from a past life

Sick of running, sick of running from a past life
