[Verse 1]
If you're gonna run, then you better run fast
I've always been told that the good can never last
Only sky above me and water below
Though further from you than ever before
So I wait to break each memory down as they pass by
We've both made our mistakes
And I know that there is no telling why
[Verse 2]
I've had dreams of where this life of mine could lead
Pictured stormy romances and heroic deeds
I never thought I'd end up where I am
If I know anything it's nothing goes as planned
Now the sun's coming up
The world spins on the same old song
I'm still here, I miss my feet
With nothing to fall back upon
[Chorus]
What if this is all that we get
All that is dealt to us
Then is that really not enough?
There are many places to go
Faces we'll never know
But I've got you and that's enough
That's more than enough
[Post-Chorus]
I'm tired of looking for truth, for answers
Know who seems to be found
As to where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
[Bridge]
If you're gonna run, then you better run fast
I've always been told that the good can never last
[Chorus]
But if this is all that we get
All that is dealt to us
Then is that really not enough?
There are many places to go
Faces we'll never know
But I got you and that's enough
That's more than enough
