As the long shadows cast behind fade away
It's a little bit louder, better and brighter every day
Here in the city, sun still shines now and then
Oh, we still make the same mistakes again
You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
Well, it's taken me this long to figure out
I've just begun
Way, I'm on my way
So soon the day will break
Away
As the afternoon is burning away the morning rain
It'll begin with a laugh, letting me know I can love again
But it's still too close, give me the time, I can mend
And I still make the same mistake now and then
You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
Well, it's taken me this long to figure out
I've just begun
Way, I'm on my way
So soon the day will break
Away
Baby see me when
I can sleep again
Oh, come see me when
I can sleep again
You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
Well, it's taken me so long to figure out
I've just begun
You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
Well, it's taken me this long to figure out
I'm on the run
Oh, towards the sun
Play, I'm on my way
You'll hear me say
So soon the day will break, again
Baby see me when
I can sleep again
Baby see me when
I can sleep again
