lyrics

You're always waiting for that knock on the door
There doesn't seem to be any way
of going back to how it was before

Once you start running
it gets so hard to stop
you have to keep one step ahead
until one day it all catches up

It got too hard to stay in town
but as soon as you get to another place
all the same scenes start going down

Once you start running
it gets so hard to stop
you have to keep one step ahead
until one day it all catches up

It's hard to know what there is to do
when you realise that what you're running from
is sitting there inside of you

Once you start running
it gets so hard to stop
you have to keep one step ahead
until one day it all catches up
