[Verse 1]
I've been meaning to tell you
I've been trying to tell you for so long
Didn't know how to face you to cut this off
Was it consideration
Or showing signs of a weakness on my part
Was I hoping you'd finally hear my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I patient for nothing
Why can't you show me a little sympathy
Tell me something is coming please

[Chorus]
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone
Can't you see we're living on the run
Baby close your eyes to realize
Before it comes undone
Can't you see we're living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run

[Verse 2]
In bed with a stranger
That's how it feels in our bed again
Know your not sleeping baby, but don't pretend
Now it seems like I'm screaming
Crying out but I can not hear a sound
Like the sand in an hourglass, I am running out
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I patient for nothing (Am I patient for nothing)
Why can't you show me a little sympathy
Tell me something is coming please

[Chorus]
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone
Can't you see we're living on the run
Baby close your eyes and realize
Before it comes undone
Can't you see we're living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run

[Bridge]
Why are we wasting all this time
No one needs another empty night
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone
Can't you see we're living on the run
Baby close your eyes and realize
Before it comes undone
Can't u see we're living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
Whoa-oh, living on the run
