(Run Away From You)

We're sitting on the couch when I start to feel the urge
I try to put it out of my head
I fidget and I wring my hands, I feel my blood cells surge
And I say "baby, let's go to bed"

I ignore the television as I wait for you to close your eyes
The moonlight taunts me and I try not to shake
With incredible precision, I don't disturb you as I rise
One last look to make sure you're not awake

And I wish
That I had the strength to stay
And I wish
That had the guts to say

That now I have to run away from you
To do the things that werewolves do
But baby girl I promise you, it's true
I'll be back here in the morning
You will never be the wiser
No, you won't get torn apart
Girl, I swear with all my werewolf heart

Now I'm running rampant and I'm running out of breath
The transformation's instantaneous, I'm off committing my crimes
If you could see me, you'd be frightened half to death
Even if you knew the motions I was going through I'd done a thousand times
There are times I don't feel as guilty as I should
It's the rush, just feels so goddamn good

That I can't help but run away from you
To do the things that werewolves do
But baby girl I promise you, it's true
I'll be back here in the morning
I'll seem innocent as ever
No, this won't tear us apart
Girl, I swear with all my werewolf heart

Hide behind the bushes, stay off the busy street
Don't deny your devil, please try to be discreet
All the kids on corners, know of your deep disgrace
Eyes are burning crazy, don't let 'em see your face
Just ignore your conscience, the craving's so intense
Feed your filthy hunger, but clean up the evidence
The sun is quickly rising, heart beats a rapid thud
Wash before returning, 'cause she knows the smell of blood
The sun is almost risen, brain throbs inside my head
I'm a fuckin' fake and I crawl back into bed

You stir a little bit and then I feel your touch
You look at me, I start to cry
You ask "what's wrong"
I say "it's just 'cause I love you so much"

But I think we both know that's a lie

I couldn't tell you
Even if I had a voice
That as much as it hurts
I know that given the choice

I'd still choose to run away from you
To do the things that werewolves do
The things my nature tells me to, it's true
I will do all that I can
To start acting like a man

And I don't know what to say
'Cept I'm sorry for the times I ran away
'Cept I'm sorry for the times I wasn't true
For what my werewolf heart is doing to you
For what my werewolf heart is doing to you
For what my werewolf heart is doing to you
For all that I have done to you

Ahwoo, woo
Ahwoo, woo
Ow, ow, ooh
Ow, ow, ooh
Ow, ow, ooh
