I'm always dreaming I could run away
As long as I remember, it's been that way
There's nothing for me happening here
Or maybe there is, maybe I'm running out of fear
Or maybe life's only just begun
When you're on the run

I go out each night, expecting more of the world
Something new and exciting
Something I've never heard
But they want you to grow up
So that you can have their babies
Is there nothing else out there
Waiting for us, maybe?
Some girls would just rather have fun
And be on the run
On the run
On the run
On the run

Something tells me I'll be better off if I stay in my mind
It's like everyone round here
Have their watches set to mountain time
Their perfect lives in paradise
Was never meant for me
Well, fuck it, I think I'd rather be
On the run

I'll go out each night
Expecting more of the world
On the run
Something new and exciting
Something I've never heard

Let them grow their beards and talk careers
But all their words have lost their meaning
I'd never wanna do what they expect me to
But something entirely new
Something entirely new

I'm always dreaming I could run away
On the run
As long as I remember, it's been that way
