Sixpence None The Richer – On The Run lyrics

On The Run
Music & Lyrics by : Jeff Lynne 
Originally performed by E.L.O. [The Electric Light Orchestra]

whatever I do, wherever I go 
the same afterglow 
is keepin' me low 
don't wanna lose it 
but don't wanna stay here too long 

they see you go by 
I tell you no lie 
you're up in the sky 
make everyone cry 
don't wanna lose it 
but don't wanna stay around here 

Chorus 
I'm on the run again 
I'm on the run again 
but it's like what they say 
when it happens this way 
you gotta do it again and again 

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on 
they think that nothing is wrong 
and so they just carry on about you 
don't wanna lose it 
but I gotta move out of here 

I see them waiting there for most of the day 
I known you asked them to stay 
but they just won't go away 
don't wanna lose it 
but I gotta do it again 

Chorus

Bridge 
I know it ain't real 
but when you are near 
you're saying the things 
that I wanna hear 
don't wanna lose it 
but I gotta do it again 

Chorus
