run on home

it was better

to keep my mouth shut

and not say anything

like a love letter to a dying world

but i couldn't have that

wouldn't take that

and it was never going to get us anywhere

what's life but an opportunity

to get somewhere else

and you can beat your drum

you can preach these lessons

while you suck your thumb like a baby

you can run on home

and the only thing i've noticed

is that i've been feeling happier lately

you can run

run

run

run on home

run

run

run

run on home

you can run

run

run

run on home

now i can feel

like there's a real life coming on

and there's no part that i don't like

and just leave it out

leave it out

it's complete

i'm fire

fire

that burns impossible

i'm through with all the insecurity that kept me down

and you can cheat your smile

and you can reach out kindly

but i'll forever know that you're lying

you can run on home

and the only thing you'll notice

is that i've been doing a whole lot less crying

you can run

run

run

run on home

run

run

run

run on home

you can run

run

run

run on home

i don't want to wish you ill but i've got to get it out

so hard to swallow this pill but i've got to keep it down

i'll see you standing by the river from the other side

but this time i'll know who i am

i'm the better man

you can run

run

run

run on home

run

run

run

run on home

you can run

run

run

run on home

don't you

don't you

don't you

don't you talk about love

don't you talk about love

now that i know

i know what love is
