Runaway

I couldn't tell you what it's all about
I keep trying and trying but it never comes out
Losing hope around the holidays
I keep praying and praying for an escape
But it will never happen anyway
I'll keep working and working till I break
And it never feels quite the same
But it's the same shit just a different day
And I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing some job I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
And we just never quite get it
Make the wrong choice and never get it right
We drink the night away to feel like we're living
Yeah it's the only thing that gets us by
Paycheck and your patience gone
Your last three bucks were spent on my songs
In a jukebox with all your friends yea you'll never learn
No you'll never
And I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing some job I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Say what you wanna, I have my problems
Maybe someday I'll find time to solve them
I tried my best, got lost in the haze
It's sad but the truth won't make things okay
I'll break the system, won't say a word
Straight to the deep end, say that I'm cursed
Take life for granted cause I'll never learn
The truth will break you down with every word
And I've tried changing
Praying my life's not wasted
Driving through this town I've hated
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
And I'm so jaded
Thinking I'm better off chasing some job I'll just fade in
Hoping I'll runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
