I want to run, run, run, run, run until I run out of room.
I want to quit before it gets too late but never too soon.
I want to bet my meager fortune on a loser who’s been lagging behind
Cause I believe down in my marrow that a loser can get lucky sometimes.
CHORUS:
But then your love, love, love, love, love comes drivin’ me crazy.
Little by little in the middle of losin’ my mind.
You make me stumble when I’m walkin’, I mumble when I’m talkin’ about you.
In all this bitchin’ and a cryin’, for a man that’s slowly dyin’,
I’m doin’ fine.
I went down, down, down, down, down till my heart broke the fall.
I could see the bottom comin’ but that didn’t change what happened at all.
So I brushed off all the sorrow and the pity that my pain would allow,
I’ve never given up on love and I be damned if I’ll consider it now.
(CHORUS)
I ought to fly, fly, fly, fly, fly, I ought to fly like the wind.
I’d be the fool beyond forgiving if I ever let you do this again.
But then you tease my bankrupt body with a little of your counterfeit love.
Even though I know it’s worthless that’s the reason I can’t get enough.
(CHORUS)
