Drive safely on crooked roads
Do everything I’ve been told
There’s a list inside my head
Enter cautiously through each door
Take a raincoat ‘cause it might pour
Think twice before anything gets said

Avert my gaze;
Keep my hands at my side
Set my heart up on the shelf
So tired of running
So tired of running
So tired of running
Running from myself

Too much time spent watching TV
Not enough finding out about me
That’s a place I hesitate to go
Ashamed of things that I like to do
Hate to say it when I get blue
Feel awkward if anyone
Else seems to know

Avert my gaze;
Keep my hands at my side
Set my heart up on the shelf
So tired of running
So tired of running
So tired of running
Running from myself

Alone here in the depth of night
Catch glimpses of dreams so bright
That fade in morning’s light 

Stark memories are barren trees
Time to find out what I believe
Step out of the shadows
Get off the surface of my skin
Reach outside and dive within
Break out of this pose

Raise my gaze;
Lift my hands from my side
Take my heart down off that shelf
So tired of running
So tired of running
So tired of running
Running from myself

So tired of running
So tired of running
So tired of running
Running from myself
