Running Back lyrics

The phone is off the hook

and Jimmy's got a gun,

Sherry's in the river

and the river's gonna run again, uh yeah.

So you don't know where to go,

you don't know where to hide.

Holding all your tears,

keeping all your pain inside.

With your back against the wall,

heart falling from your hands

You throw it in the river,

the river's gonna hide it again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you are not alone.

But you're not safe at home.

And you're running back, running back

while you're off track, lookin' for a home,

for a house to call your own.

You need a phone, you feel all alone.

Don't know where to start

while you're falling apart

and you need someone to hold.

Your hands are cold.

You feel a little older.

You need a shoulder.

Alone but you're not alone.

What they will believe

and if you wanna change

how's it meant to be

even if they think you're strange.

Oh, you wanna live a life.

You need to break away.

Counting on your hands

the days you have left to pay.

But you are not alone.

But you're not safe at home.

(Da, da, da, da...)

(Da, da, da ,da...)

And you're running back, running back

while you're off track, lookin' for a home,

for a house to call your own.

You need a phone, you feel all alone.

Don't know where to start

while you're falling apart

and you need someone to hold.

Your hands are cold.

You feel a little older.

You need a shoulder.

Alone but you're not alone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yeah, yeah, oh.

I know you can make it.

Just try not to fake it.

Oh, don't give up.

Don't give up.

And you're running back, running back

while you're off track, lookin' for a home,

for a house to call your own.

You need a phone, you feel all alone.

Don't know where to start

while you're falling apart

and you need someone to hold.

Your hands are cold.

You feel a little older.

You need a shoulder.

Alone but you're not alone.
