Lyrics: 
There's no plan to forewarn 
But like the day you were born 
I could probably work it out

And antidotes make it worse 
Killing desire to rehearse 
So now it's all I can think about

I like to think that everything is gunna be alright 
But when she wants to run away, what can I say?

Should I really play along? 
Lose all sense of right and wrong? 
Close the curtains, disappear for the day

And with the tension of time 
Afraid to mention that I'm not sure I can take you all the way

I like to think that everything is gunna be alright 
But when she wants to run away, what can I say?

Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run

I like to think that everything is gunna be alright 
But when she wants, she wants to run away, what can I say?

...What can I say?
