Pale as a ghost
Puking up the shit
I drank last night
Rolling up my sleeves
Like Daddy told me
Sour as a tangerine
Sweating out the nicotine
Demons on my back
And when it came to fight
I didn't know how to do it right

So I ran
I ran away
Terrified of what might happen if I stayed
Yes I ran
I ran away
Into the dark
Into the fear
And out of the frame

I was fast like a cheetah
Running on the balls of my feet
I couldn't even sit still
Until the day I met you
You kept my feet glued
But the muscles in my head
Wouldn't let me get to bed
Tore the heart off of my sleeve
And ripped the shirt off my back
But you know I still felt trapped

So I ran
I ran away
Terrified of what might
Happen if you stayed
Yes I ran
I ran away
Into the dark
Into the fear
And out of the frame

Coach said to me when I was 21
Boy you're fast as hell
Mum said to me you're your father's son
When things get rough you always gotta run

So I ran
I ran away
And when I turned around
You were there waiting there for me
So I ran
Ran to you
Into your arms
Into the truth

You said
I wasn't here to hold you back
Or take your name
You don't gotta be your father's son
And when things get rough
Together we can run

So keep running
Keep running
Keep running
Keep running

Keep running
Keep running
Keep running
Keep running

Keep running
Keep running
Keep running
Keep running

Keep running (No matter where you're running to)
Keep running (I'll be running next to you)
Keep running (And no matter where you go)
Keep running
