Running

[Verse 1]
My feet have wandered off without me
Did they take a smoother-looking road?
Do they dance 'cause life is not so heavy?
When I fall do they care? Do they know?

[Verse 2]
My feet have wandered off without me
Did they tire of climbing up this hill?
Did they find a parallel so easy
That they stopped, that they stayed, that they're still?

[Chorus]
If I'm running, then I'm running 'cause I'm lost
If I'm hoping, then I'm hoping for the frost
To drive my feet right back to me
And be the roots that make the tree
I don't like running, I don't like running anymore

[Verse 3]
My feet have wandered off without me
I haven't seen the pair of them for years
Do they know I went and left the country?
When I call in the night do they hear?

[Verse 4]
My feet have wandered off without me
Do you think that they remember me by name?
Or have I become some kind of enemy
'Cause I walked them through ruin and flame?

[Chorus]
If I'm running, then I'm running 'cause I'm lost
If I'm hoping, then I'm hoping for the frost
To drive my feet right back to me
And be the roots that make the tree
I don't like running, I don't like running anymore
