RUNAWAY Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been searching, nothing’s working
I've been tripping, no one's perfect
Chasing vision, just the surface
Shirt’s on backwards, not on purpose, yeah
But I've been learning something bigger
In expectation, feet are failing
But I found blessings flowing from
This side of heaven
[Pre-Chorus]
Staring into my reflection, redirecting my perfection somewhere else
When there isn't any progress, lean in truth inside the promise, it is well
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me, dreams of who I wanna be
I'm seeing every empty page
But I find that everything I am is everything I should be
Yeah, I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
Yeah, I don't need to run away
[Verse 2]
Something's working, heart is turning
Vision’s clearing, still I’m learning
That what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Is something more than I can plan
Go, tell me now
I don't need to run away
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been standing on a stage with just a mirror, forced to face who I've become
Searching for a new escape, I scan the exits that embrace an easy out
[Chorus]
I hold my life out in front of me, dreams of who I wanna be
I'm seeing every empty page
But I find that everything I am is everything I should be
Yeah, I don't need to run away
I don’t need to run away
(I don't need to run away)
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
I don't need to run away
