Running Away
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.
I slip out before first light
The stars will be my guide
I won’t stop, I’ll chase the dark ‘til morning
If you notice that I have gone
It’s nothing that you’ve done
I just realized this world’s not gonna wait for me
I’m running away
You won’t catch up to me
I’m running away
Don’t try to stop me
My feet grow so heavy but
I’ve got to keep moving
The past clings to my heels weighing every step
The heartbreak, the broken dreams
It’s no use repeating
I lay aside the weight and press on straight ahead
I’m running away
You won’t catch up to me
I’m running away
Don’t try to stop me
My heart is beating just like a drum
The road is calling my name, I’m finally free to run
I’ll leave it all behind and just keep breathing
One breath, one step before the next
Breathe in, breathe out with no regrets
I’m fine, this moment’s mine
All of the things that I have done
Are nothing compared to what’s to come
It’s true I’ve made my move
