The Running Man

The Running Man – Lyrics

(Oh, ohhh)

I keep movin' with the moonlight

Never stay too long, I just ghost right

Verse 1

You said love was like a fire

But I been burned too many times

Now I don't trust the warmth

I just read the signs

Every smile feels like danger

Every hug feels like a trap

So I lace my shoes by instinct

And I never look back

Pre—Chorus

Maybe I'm afraid of home

Maybe I'm made of stone

But I'm tired of lyin' to your face

When I know I'm gone without a trace

Chorus

I'm the running man, heart in my hand

Never could stay, never could land

Baby, it ain't you—it's who I am

I'm the running man, catch me if you can

Verse 2

You built me a safe place

I painted it in doubt

You held the door open

But I always find a way out

I don't know peace, just the motion

My love's a train that don't stop

And I leave good things behind me

Like loose change in a pocket I forgot

Pre—Chorus

Maybe I'm scared to belong

Maybe I'm singin' the same old song

But I see your tears when I disappear

And I wish I could just stay right here

Chorus

I'm the running man, heart in my hand

Never could stay, never could land

Baby, it ain't you—it's who I am

I'm the running man, catch me if you can

Bridge

Oh, I wanna stop, yeah, I do

But the road's always pullin' me through

And even when I try to fight

My shadows run in the night

Break

I see your face in rear—view lights

You're the only thing I leave that feels right

Chorus

I'm the running man, heart in my hand

Never could stay, never could land

Baby, it ain't you—it's who I am
