Jamie xx - Running lyrics

Run away, run away, run away... Because I always feel like running Not away, because there is no such place Because if there was I would have found it by now Because it's easier to run Easier than staying and finding out You're the only one who didn't run Run away, run away, run away... Because running will be the way Your life and mine will be described As in "the long run" Or as in having "given someone a run for his money" Or as in "running out of time" Because running makes me look like everyone else Though I hope there will never be cause for that Because I will be running in the other direction Not running for cover Run away, run away, run away... Because if I knew where cover was I would stay there and never have to run for it Not running for my life Because I have to be running for something of more value To be running and not in fear Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped Eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from Not without showing the fear as I see it now Run away, run away, run away... Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer Because of you and because of that nice That you quietly, quickly be causing And because you're going to see me run soon And because you're going to know why I'm running then You'll know then Because I'm not going to tell you now Run
