Run On Home

It was better
To keep my mouth shut
And not say anything
Like a love letter to a dying world
But I couldn't have that
Wouldn't take that
And it was never going to get us anywhere
What's life but an opportunity
To get somewhere else?

And you can beat your drum
You can preach these lessons
While you suck your thumb like a baby
You can run on home
And the only thing I've noticed
Is that I've been feeling happier lately

You can run, run, run, run on home
Run, run, run, run on home
You can run, run, run, run on home

Now I can feel
Like there's a real life coming on
And there's no part that I don't like
And just leave it out, leave it out
It's complete
I'm fire, fire
That burns impossible
I'm through with all the insecurity that kept me down

And you can cheat your smile
And you can reach out kindly
You can run on home
And the only thing you'll notice
Is that I've been doing a whole lot less crying

You can run, run, run, run on home
Run, run, run, run on home
You can run, run, run, run on home

I don't want to wish you ill but I've got to get it out
So hard to swallow this pill but I've got to keep it down
I'll see you standing by the river from the other side
But this time I'll know who I am
I'm the better man

You can run, run, run, run on home
Run, run, run, run on home
You can run, run, run, run on home

Don't you, don't you, don't you

Don't you talk about love
Don't you talk about love
Now that I know, I know what love is
