Better Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you find that your life
Would be better off without me,
If you run at full speed
And it feels good to be free,
If you know it in your soul
Though it's hard to let it go,
You better run,
You better run.
If you lift it from the ground,
Know you're never coming down,
Babe, if you're a boxer
And you can't stand another round,
If you're free to make a sound
And your heart began to pound.
You better run,
You better run.
But the one thing that i ask,
That you live without reserve,
That you find out what you need,
Show what you deserve.
All the time that we had,
Do you think it was a waste?
For what good's a memory
Without some sort of taste?
And does the value rise
If it cannot be replaced?
You better run,
You better run.
But the one thing that i ask,
That you live without reserve,
That you find out what you need,
Show what you deserve.
You better run,
You better run.
But the one thing that i ask,
That you live without reserve,
And i know it hurts for now,
But there's always something learned.
So don't turn around,
Don't lose your footing now
And don't lose your nerve.
Gonna find out what you need,
Gonna show what you deserve.
