When I was seventeen
You sucked the life right out of me
I don’t care what we’re supposed to mean
And all that you can do is leave
I’ve got the cards in front of me
I don’t know where I wanna be
But I’d ask you what did you mean
When you said you’re just as bad as me
I don’t see it but I feel it every day
Every distance, every toll that I would pay
I couldn’t quit it and I’m still running, running, running away
Nothing’s ever as it seems
You’re crying in your old blue jeans
And picturing your favorite scene
You push me down on to my knees
You painted what you want to see
And made a nightmare out of me
I used to sing inside your dreams
You thought I could do anything
I don’t see it but I feel it every day
Every distance, every toll that I would pay
I couldn’t quit it and I’m still running, running, running away
I’m not free yet, but I’m gonna be someday
Every distance, every night in a new place
I can’t live with it, so I’m still running, running, running away
I can’t live with it, so I’m still running, running, running away
It’ll be different, when I’m done running, running, running away

No Way
I don’t have to think much To know it isn’t hard To know that I remember The way I played a part I don’t have to reach now To know I was the one Who told you that I …
