Running Away - John Butler Trio

Tonight I feel unclean

Like a broken machine

I’m choking up

On the fear and the doubt

Words can’t convey

What I’m trying to say

I’m bottle necking

Trying to get it all out

And I dig through stone

And blood and bones

I dig so deep now

I can’t even see

Feel just like an archaeologist

Trying to find out what happened to me

But no longer

Running and running

And running and running away

I’m not

Running and running

And running and running away

No more

Somewhere long ago

Down a dead end road

Something pulled the rug

From under my feet

Caught me by surprise

Kicked mud in my eyes

That’s when my engine

Started to seize

And I held it down

Pushed it under ground

I said: «I never wanna feel that again»

Held them all away

So I can feel safe

And I guess that’s how I’ve been dealing

But no longer

Tell me where the map has gone

Because I

I don’t wanna be alone any longer

I don’t want to feel this way

About you

I just want to help you grow and be stronger

But I don’t want to compromise

Anymore

And you don’t want to live with lies anymore so

Tell me where the map has gone

Because I

I don’t wanna be alone any longer

Running and running

And running and running away

I’m not

Running and running

And running and running away

No more
