Oh I know it's getting closer
It's a feeling I used to know
Now my body's getting older
But I don't think that I've grown
The past is talking
You know I gotta run now
Calling me
You know I gotta run
Against my better instincts, I go against my better instincts
Started on the wrong track, wouldn't change that
No I wasn't made for the plow
(Where you gonna run boy, now? Where you gonna run boy?)
Stare at my reflection, he's a dark twin
And he's calling me to the ground
(Where you gonna run boy, now? Where you gonna run boy?)
Now I'm lying on the carpet in a cold sweat and you're telling me
Run gotta run gotta run gotta run
Swimming in the toxins, and the hook's in and you're begging me
Run gotta run gotta run gotta run
Run gotta run gotta run gotta run gotta run
Against my better instincts
I throw my heart behind the lie
Ran so far I think I woke up on the other side
Against my better instincts
Let's go and march into the night
We all have to do what we have to
Gotta run, gotta run, gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run, gotta run, gotta run
Against my better instincts, I go against my better instincts
Against my better instincts, I go against my better instincts
So go ahead you do what you have to
