lyrics

Four AM waking, I lie and wait for daylight
I think of my ex-lovers, sleeping in their beds
I’m reminded of the days when I'd never sleep at all
Until my memory, like a record, starts to skip

Books lay across my carpet, like islands in an atlas
Each page was turned with wonder or dismay
Tests of our endurance, the troubles we were born with
Are our travelling companions for the ride

But the horse that jumps the fence and runs for freedom never looks back once he’s gone
And if I look over my shoulder now, I’ll only see things better left in eras lost or loved and left behind
Feel the weight of telling everyone “goodbye”

Counting on my fingers the things that I’ve accomplished
Like some kind of badly planned recovery
You’ll only get disheartened, waiting for approval
You’ve got to keep on trying anyway

But the girl with the prosthetic heart could make the boys sigh like I never could
And please do not mistake my dedication for some kind of talent that I've never found but longed for all my life
A twist of fate I’m sure you’ll come to recognise

I think I’ve really done it this time
I think I’ve really done it for the final time
I think I’ve really done it this time
I think I’ve really done it for the final time

So I step out of the car and say goodnight and then I watch you drive away
But what I really want to say is, “This is not me, I am different. I swear I’m not the wreck you’ve seen today.”
And if you find you’re always running then I guess that that’s okay as long as you run fast enough that they can’t catch you
As long as you run fast enough to get away
