[Verse 1]
While you're standin', wavin' goodbye on the far side of the road
I haven't seen you take one step to leave
There's a little smile you're wearin' as you say goodbye again
Something tells me you're just foolin' me
[Chorus]
Ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
I don't think you're goin' anywhere
Ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
You haven't disappeared into thin air
[Post-Chorus]
Is this your way of tellin' me you care?
[Verse 2]
When you say you've had enough
And that's your explanation
You say you've got your reasons and that's it
By the way you stop and look, I should read you like a book
But thе pictures and the words don't seem to fit
[Chorus]
Ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
I don't think you're goin' anywhеre
Ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
You haven't disappeared into thin air
[Post-Chorus]
Is this your way of tellin' me you care?
[Verse 3]
Have you forgotten to let go when you're holdin' on so tight?
Well, let me give your memory a jog
While you're escapin' from the happiness
You won't admit you'd found
While you're out there racin' to the top
[Chorus]
Oh, ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
I don't think you're goin' anywhere
Ain't no way to run
Ain't no way to run
You haven't disappeared into thin air
[Post-Chorus]
Is this your way of tellin' me you care?
Is this your way of tellin' me you care?
[Interlude]
Y'all wanna run some more?
Alright
[Instrumental Outro]
