Dan Loges - Runaway Lyrics

Crowded house, no where to move
People to the left and right, pinned from side to side
Nowhere to move, find it hard to breathe
A thousand eyes around, none of them on me
This is my hell. I don't gel
People I once recognized, not a gaze behind their eyes
People living like this, no way to be
Queen said it best with 'I got to break free'
Runaway. Skip a stone
The best ones aren't always the closest ones to home
Don'tcha know? It's your time.
Stop feeling the need to put your heart out on the line
Be alone. Be free
Being alone ain't the same as being lonely
Can't ya see? Runaway
It's your time to go be happy
Met an old man by the water line
Dropped some wisdom on me that'll stand the test of time
He was wise beyond his days
Yet he didn't know he could change the ways
This man was no one I had ever saw
He just saw me sitting there on a rock alone
He said son here's how you skip the stone
He placed it in his hand and I watched it go
Runaway. Skip a stone
The best ones aren't always the closest ones to home
Don'tcha know? It's your time.
Stop feeling the need to put your heart out on the line
Be alone. Be free
Being alone ain't the same as being lonely
Can't ya see? Runaway
It's your time to go be happy
People change. Like the tides
Yet there's no need to feel you must abide
Live your life. As you do
The person I see inside is the one I love too
Stay you. As you go.
There's a person I see, I expect to see come home
Keep your ways. No need for change
I learned this from an old man in a brief little exchange
Runaway. Skip a stone
The best ones aren't always the closest ones to home
Don'tcha know? It's your time.
Stop feeling the need to put your heart out on the line
Be alone. Be free
Being alone ain't the same as being lonely
Can't ya see? Runaway
It's your time to go be happy
You can go now. Runaway
But I expect to see you home some day
Run along. Won't hold your hand
Unless you ask for help, you know I'll be there
It's your time. Learn on your own
Now it is your time to go explore the unknown
But don't forget. Where you came
But to grow, you know you must...
Runaway. Skip a stone
Sometimes the best things you learn are the ones you learned alone
Don'tcha know? It's your time.
The true friends will end up on the shoreline
Be alone. Be free
Don't always need approval to live your life fully
Can't ya see? Runaway
It's your time to go be happy
