We say "good bye", I turn my back
run away, run away, so predictable
not far from here, you see me crack
like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable
I take everything from you
but you'll take anything, won't you?

run away, run away, like a prodigal
don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
so ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

I'm on the road to who knows where
look ahead, not behind, I keep sayin'
There's no place to go where you're not there
on your rope, I hold tight, but il's frayin'
And I take everything from you
but you'll take anything, won't you?

run away, run away, like a prodigal
don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
so ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me

everybody wants to be right, but only if it's night or daylight
And I keep tryin' to find my way back, my way back

run away, run away, like a prodigal
don't you wait for me, don't you wait for me
so ashamed, so ashamed, but I need you so
And you wait for me, and you wait for me
run away, run away, away from you, from you, oh
