[Verse 1]
I know you think this town is the problem
But maybe it's not, maybe it's you
I know you think there are walls around you
But did you ever look for a door to go through?
It's so easy to blame other people
It's so easy to hate on where you're from
But the truth is we're a product of nothing
Just a collection of the things that we've done
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you wanna get out of here
I know you're feeling so trapped
I can see you're having trouble breathing here
But baby, once you leave, you can never come back
And you can run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
But baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, it'd be better if you stay
And you can run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
But baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, it'd be better if you stay
What if the songs you say define you
Were just the ones that you heard first?
What if your first love could be your last love?
If you hadn't used it as a way to rehearse?
It's so easy to think of an ending
It's so easy to start all over again
But the truth is you have to stick with it
You'll always fail sometimes when you begin
And I know you wanna get out of here
I know you're fading into black
I can see you're feeling lost and lonely here
But baby, once you leave, you can never come back
And you can run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
But baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, it'd be better if you stay
And you can run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
But baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, it'd be better if you stay
(Run, run, run, run away)
You know I'd save you if I could
(Run away, baby, be better if you stay)
Come on, baby, you know I would
(Run, run, run, run away)
But if you leave now, you leave for good
(Run away, baby, be better, be better)
