Why Do I Run

When the going gets tough And I ain't up for going no more And the floor under my feet Turns into sand My eyes look around for exits Thinking only 'bout what's next Just like a man Just like a man Just like a man Oh, just like a man And then my heart feels like its Rented out to strangers And they're ringing out my body Like a sponge Instead of tending to the fence I don't belong is my defense Why do I run Why do I run Why do I run, oh Why do I run Then the morning comes And all I hear are all the birds Brushing up their song Before the day begins The trees are calling to the breeze It must have rained I guess I missed it in my sleep Yeah in my sleep Oh in my sleep ooo It was a deep, deep sleep Then I think about the last few hours and wonder If our tears will finally dry up in the sun Can I be a rising tide Am I a river that's run dry Why do I run Why do I run Why do I run, oh Why do I run So I went through all my storage bins of memories Tucked away and made for lonely days like this I couldn't recognize the names and faces Least of all myself in all that bliss In all that bliss In all that bliss, oh In all that bliss Then I missed a couple calls while I was walking How I wish that I could do two things at once This time I left a set of footprints Pressed them deep into the earth Why do I run Why do I run Why do I run Why do I run Why do I run, oh Why do I run
