Jon Batiste - Running Away Lyrics

You got a friend, a lover
A friend, a lover in me
Right next to you, right next to you
Is where I'll always be
I keep on, keep on talking with you, my friend
So keep going 'cause I'ma stay with you until the end

One call is all it takes
When your tears fall, falling down your face
I wipe them off at the end of the day
I'll come running, just don't run away

I'll come running, don't run away

You know it's hard to catch a shooting star
You gotta wait 'til it decides to park and that's okay
A couple dollars ain't even enough
'Cause the price just keep going up and that's okay

Don't beat yourself up
It's just a waste of precious time
You're looking for answers you already know
In the back of your mind

You keep going down, down but you can't keep running away
You keep going down, down but you can't keep running away
You keep going down, down but you can't keep running away
I said you keep going down, down but you can't keep running away

(Running, going)

When the weight is on your shoulders, I can take it off of you, you
Loving through your battles as you're walking through the fire
Promise until the end it's us, won't give up holding you down
(Down) down
I won't let you fall (I won't let you fall)
I won't let you fall
I'll be around (I'll be around)
Whenever you fall
I'm just a call away

Down, down but you can't keep running away (away, away, away)
I said you can't, you can't, you can't (running away)
Keep going down, down but you can't keep running away
(Can't keep, can't keep, can't keep on running away)
You keep going down, down but you can't keep running away
(Can't keep, can't keep, can't keep on running)
(You keep going down, down) but you can't keep running away
(Running, going)

What's love if we can't be brave?
Keep on running, we can't keep running away
