Running From Myself
Been running from myself
Been screaming out in vain
Can’t get my self control
Drivin in the pouring rain
My grip tight on the wheel
As I catch a self glance in my rear view mirror
Gonna take it to the ditch
Or gonna drive it off the pier
And it ain’t because of you girl
Cause it is only fair to say
I took it to the limits
And I pushed you all the way
And as the thunder booms in my ears
As the hailstones bounce upon the ground
I recognize it is not worth livin
And this boy is going down
The tires stretch their limits
As I take one last deep breath
If life is not worth livin
I might as well try death
And the impact is unreal to me
the entire episode seems so fake
As I scream out in my sleep
And suddenly find myself awake
there you are lying next to me
your tan long legs and curvy thighs
and I look across the bedroom
and I dry my weary eyes
and I know that in the morning
I will have the chance to say
Please don’t leave me darling
Cause I want you to surely stay
Yet the words won’t come I know this
As your bags sit waiting by the door
And I will hope it does not rain today
Cause I can’t predict my own actions anymore
Cause I can’t predict my own actions anymore
