Lyrics

Running From The Cops

[Chorus] New surroundings New surroundings [Verse 1] My dreams will never come true And if they ever ever do, it's never you I want to implode, I want it to end And all those old feelings are coming back again [Chorus] New surroundings New surroundings [Verse 2] My dreams are haunting my soul And when I'm driving down the road, I'm not in control I want to let go, I want to shake hands With the person that's responsible for this master plan I know I will, I know I can [Chorus] New surroundings New surroundings New surroundings New surroundings [Outro] My dreams will never come true And if they ever ever do, it's never you My dreams will never come true And if they ever ever do, it's never you
