lyrics

On the run
Everybody 's out there waiting for you
If you make it
There's a line of faces shaking your hand
for knowing
the people the places that everybody
knows but me
This is how it all turns out to be

But I'm not swimming
No I'm not there
And if you're waiting
Then be prepared

Can you hear
The words they whisper about your name
Should they know it
The bottom line no matter the time
And here I'm standing
Holding the case but I'd rather be
Pulling the trigger now cause i don't know how
everyone else here can stand to be near

But I'm not swimming
And No I don't care
And if you make it
I'll try to stop and stare

And whatever the price they've put on your head
I'll wake up finding the dreams that I've lead
Break out into song of the old and the grey
I'd die long before I remembered the day
I'm out in the cold and alone in the wreck
Watch in the dark for the light and the speck
And if you were there and you heard this out
I know you'd have your doubts
