[Chorus]
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?

[Verse 1]
I was trembling
Hands are shaking
My feet are cold and
I'm contemplating
This is where it all began
Too close for comfort and
I can barely breathe
When it's you I see
Running away from the shadows
I am not what you want me to be

[Chorus]
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?

[Verse 2]
Practically counting every step
To watch you out into the careful bliss
How can I resist
The place that I continue to go to
Play it safe, yeah, and don't move
Oh, living in confusion
Would you have gone if I told you to?

[Chorus]
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
Why do we always run, run, run, run?
Why do we always run from the ones that we love?
