As the long shadows cast behind fade away It's a little bit louder, better and brighter every day Here in the city, sun still shines now and then Oh, we still make the same mistakes again You're the only thing I've ever really known I'm on the run Well, it's taken me this long to figure out I've just begun Way, I'm on my way So soon the day will break Away As the afternoon is burning away the morning rain It'll begin with a laugh, letting me know I can love again But it's still too close, give me the time, I can mend And I still make the same mistake now and then You're the only thing I've ever really known I'm on the run Well, it's taken me this long to figure out I've just begun Way, I'm on my way So soon the day will break Away Baby see me when I can sleep again Oh, come see me when I can sleep again You're the only thing I've ever really known I'm on the run Well, it's taken me so long to figure out I've just begun You're the only thing I've ever really known I'm on the run Well, it's taken me this long to figure out I'm on the run Oh, towards the sun Play, I'm on my way You'll hear me say So soon the day will break, again Baby see me when I can sleep again Baby see me when I can sleep again
