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
