Always on the Run (feat. Les Shirley)

You better wake up!

Stuck going nowhere and nowhere is comin' fast

When I first met you, things moved a mile a year

Now they move a mile a minute

I've always been the one

To live a life of no return on the back of a hurricane

Tell me to slow it down

Take a breather, put it on the back burner

That's alright, that's ok

You didn't plan on giving me a break anyway

You better slow down

10 second stops on a bullet train ain't enough to get off

Always on the run, these are the times I wanna believe

That there'll be a way, always a way for me to leave

The breaks are shot and you can smell em' from inside the car

That ain't right, you know that

Sooner or later wake up feels like a heart attack!

You don't allow yourself happiness in the present

'cause you're dwelling in the imminent future

You don't see what you have here is as near a lottery win

But you don't spend it, you don't spend it...

Now after so long,

Out of sight, out of mind,

More often the case most of the time

I don't sleep, you know that

I miss you, it's a fact

Always on the run, these are the times I wanna believe

That there'll be a way, always a way for me to leave

Always on the run these are the times I wanna leave

Didn't think you'd be the one to take the air I breathe

Stuck going nowhere and nowhere is comin' fast

You don't sleep, I know that

Wild and wired, watching your back,

Night & day

I wasn't planning on catching a break anyway

You don't allow yourself happiness in the present

'Cause you're dwelling in the imminent future

You don't see what you have here is as near a lottery win

But you don't spend it....

Wake up!

So long, out of sight, out of mind

More often the case most of the time
