Running Away

[Verse 1: Jaret Reddick]

Pipe down, give me a cigarette

There's no use hanging on

Hanging on to a false security

And this motherfucker won't know I'm gone, she said

In the car she was oh so serious

One hug and a kiss goodbye

Look for me when you watch TV

And don't tell a soul if they look for me, she said

[Chorus: Jaret Reddick]

I'm running away

I'm running away

[Verse 2: Jaret Reddick]

By the door watch a two-page novel and

Four years summed up so fast

Hope you're happy with whoever you settle with

And I'm so sorry that it ended like this, she said

Can't believе that I'm really doing this

Wish me luck but pleasе don't call

This means more to me than you could ever know

And this town's got nothing left at all, she said

[Chorus: Jaret Reddick]

I'm running away

I'm running away

I'm running away

I'm running away

[Bridge: Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler]

And I thought that I knew everything

I guess I didn't know much at all

In my mind I know I'd never do that again

All alone with a bunch of memories

I'm living by a constant tragedy

And a bunch of pictures that I know my mind can't carry there alone

[Verse 3: Jaret Reddick]

Pick me up outside the fire escape

We can catch the midnight train

Sell your car, we won't need it anyway

And if we can't walk, we can always run, she said

Left a note on a bed that was never made

Read more like a thank you card

I know you're there if I ever need anyone

And I'm so sorry that I let you down, I said

[Chorus: Jaret Reddick]

I'm running away

I'm running away

I'm running away

I'm running away
