Nina Nesbitt On The Run

AlphabetLyrics.com

I lit a burning log
Left food out for the dogs
And tip toed down.

I put my shoes on by the door
Those creaking wooden boards
Didn't make a sound.

I'll be thinking of you love
I'll be missing your sweet touch
But I've got far to go.

'cause I'm on the run
I've been standing still for way too long
I wanna live like I'm forever young
Tryna hold it down just ain't no fun
I'll pack a bag and leave before the sun
And I'll take the long winding roads
And when they call, blame it on rock n roll
Start again, forget the things I've done
If they ask you where I've gone, I'm on the run.

I'm on the run
I'm on the run.

You've been a little lost
Working 'round the clock
Towing the line.

You're in a world you don't belong
Tryna find your way back home
But you could stay a while on the passenger side
There's books to read and songs to write.

If you wanna leave this town
I could turn the car around
You could say your goodbyes
Get outta here tonight.

Come on the run
'cause you've been standing still for way too long
Life's too short to not live while you're young
Tryna hold it down just ain't no fun
Let's pack a bag and leave before the sun
And we'll take the long winding roads
And drive you to the lochs I used to know
You can buy a postcard, write it to your mum
Sayin' you miss her but for now you're on the run.

(I'm on the run)
Tryna hold me down
Oh I'll go on the run
(I'm on the run)
Let's leave this town tonight
Come on the run
(I'm on the run)
We could spend our lives on the run.
