Lyrics John Butler Trio – Running Away
Text:
Tonight I feel unclean
Like a broken machine
I’m choking up on the fear and the doubt
Words can’t convey
I’m bottle necking
Trying to get it all out
And I dig through stones and blood and bones
I dig so deep now I can’t even see
Feel just like an archaeologist
Trying to find out what happened to me
But no longer
Running and running and running and running away
I’m not
Running and running and running and running away
No more
x2
Somewhere long ago
Down a dead end road
Something pulled the rug
From under my feet
Caught me by surprise
Kicked mud in my eyes
That’s when my engine started to seize
And I held it down
Pushed it under ground
I said, «I never wanna feel that again»
Held them all away
So I can feel safe
And I guess that’s how I’ve been dealing
Tell me where the map has gone
Because I, I don’t wanna be alone any longer
I don’t want to feel this way about you
I just want to help you grow and be stronger
But I don’t want to compromise anymore
And you don’t want to live with lies anymore so
Tell me where the map has gone
Because I, I don’t wanna be alone any longer
Running and running and running and running away
I’m not
Running and running and running and running away
No more
x4
Don’t wanna run alone x7
