I lay sideways in your back seat While the traffic lights silently judged me And you kept giving me attitude If you know me now, then you knew me then I haven't made any new friends I'm still the same lucky boy, who got away I ran away I ran away It was too dangerous to stay I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment. I ran away I ran away I was too afraid to stay You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment And the sound started cutting out And I could hear the strange thoughts you were thinking So I stopped accepting that excuse If you don't want me now then you never did You can curse my name but I'll still live So just walk away I ran away I ran away It was too dangerous to stay I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment. I ran away I ran away I was too afraid to stay You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment I'll see you around in the underground The caverns of my nightmares My dreams came pushing you away (away) Feet on the ground doesn't mean a thing if you want to be moving I'm watching you waste away in place I ran away I ran away It was too dangerous to stay I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment. I ran away I ran away I was too afraid to stay You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment (I ran away; I ran away) (I ran away; I ran away)
