Hook: I've been on the run for way too long been tryin to find my way home I never thought that I would die and this is why I'm done with life
Post-Hook: You think you know just take a look at my life and I know you don't
Intro: Yeah you know I'm out here screamin in the headlights rushin toward me are beaming in And you scream back in anger, no this ain't a test it ain't a game, we in danger, now lay to rest The Devil's out to get you, need to speed up into heaven but the gates are locked, God got my soul arrested said I must be unholy, Im so out of this world but Satan heard me say "take me" and he said "hell no" yeah you know you think you know, oh but you don't
V1: Never did I ever think that this would be me Whenever I need change, check the DC streets believe me, indeed, we all live life away but til the clock runs out, in the room with time we stay time just left the building, all that's left is memories it's not right that my feet were swept right from under me cover me, running head-first into battle raining and thundering, guns are storming, and I'm in denial why am I here? What's the point? Mind makin things suspenseful the point is seemingly useless, dull like an overused pencil and don't even fake, pretending that you got what it takes to live right through death and continue in the human race I'm running... first off, I'm first in the human race a blues man's rage said it's judgment day today I took his word for it, Lord knows I tried to save him but his heavy addiction was wrecking the life that He gave him
V2: I'll never forget when we were just kids Always hittin you up, we'd chill up at your crib you were always so lucky, born with that spoon of silver chillin in ya mouth, but with it always came a shiver Your dad was sayin you would never do shit so he went to stores and bought your love with fuckin gifts (what?) your future to them was you a fugitive at best (nah) I guess it changed when we were ten and he lost his job I said "stop it, you can never ever give up" everyone has a name that to it, they should live up makin many mistakes ain't why you in a river denial makin your brain patiently wait to slip up you went from that kid in school to that beggar with a tin cup people around are starting to notice that you're tripped up come on, I know it hurts, but you gotta get a grip, cuz you almost home now, we done with the trip
Bridge: Yeah I'm done, I had my fun, I had a good run My life's a mile: final lap, I know I should run Never slow down, we livin alone now not ready to go now, I vividly know how We spread our love to everyone, we an infection give my heart and soul if it meant it'd save our friendship I often thought that you'd stop my heart You're everything that I wanted from the start
Outro: Yeah you know I'm out here screamin in the headlights rushin toward me are beaming in Satan heard me say "take me" and he said "hell no"
