Running Back

The phone is off the hook

And Jimmy's got a gun

Sherry's in the river

And the river's gonna run again

Ooh, 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

Yea, 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

Looking 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
