Can you whisper the words
I've been listening for
Can you tell me the truth
Can you open the door
I've been out in the cold
Shaken by the mistake
No one out here to hold
No one to give me a name
Am I just a runaway
Am I just a runaway
So I'm stubborn and tough
(Let yourself go, you're never
going to regret it)
Kinda like my father before
(Learn to go slow, it's not like
anybody's betting)
I just wanna work in the house
(Soon will be time, your face is
gonna feel the glory)
I just wanna sleep on the floor
(Tune out those lies, cold
shame is only half the story)
No, you don't love me that way
Cause you're dead-set on making me free
Tell me who will win in the end
Will it be the vice or an infinite stream
Am I just a runaway
Am I just a runaway
Am I just a runaway
Am I just a runaway
Won't you tell me
I'm more than I thought I could be
More than the troubles that haunt me
More than the lies that I've told
You're so free
You're blowing me over like a warm breeze
Summer night lightning tall trees
You're making me shine like gold
Gold, gold
So why do I feel so cold
Am I just a runaway
And would you love me if I stayed
Could you give me another name
Or am I just a runaway
