I'm here I'm gone
catch me if you can
I'll wait till you're near
then I'm gonna run
same as yesterday
faster more than I'll escape
that there's no easy way
So I'm on the run
run away from the pain
two steps closer
two more mistakes
go forward never back track
like a hinting game
I'm the prey
I gotta get free
But how do I stay me
All I can do is run
Runaway
I'll out run the game
got to get free
better run
Run till my feet bleed
I'm on the run
Run
Run
Run
I'm in a run time till I'm free
