iâ??ve been standing at this tree
you know iâ??ve longed to taste its fruit
but now what once seemed sweet is rotting in my mouth

canâ??t believe what i have done
shame creeps inside my chest
and so i turn to run

but i just canâ??t seem to catch my breath

[:: CHORUS ::]

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
iâ??m just a runaway
iâ??m just a runaway

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
iâ??m just a runaway
iâ??m just a runaway


Now i know i canâ??t go back
to the life i left behind

wish that i could change the past oh but itâ??s over now
donâ??t want to pay for what iâ??ve done
iâ??ve got shame inside my chest

so many things i canâ??t outrun
cause i just canâ??t seem to catch my breath


Chorus:
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
iâ??m just a runaway

iâ??m just a runaway
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
iâ??m just a runaway

iâ??m just a runaway

[:: BRIDGE ::]

but i can hear you say
yeah, i can hear you say
oh, give up

my love is a lion
fierce and free, relentless and violent
oh, you know thereâ??s no place left to run


[:: CHORUS ::]
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

iâ??m just a runaway
iâ??m just a runaway
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

iâ??m just a runaway
iâ??m just a runaway
