Running In Place

[Verse 1]
In New York City, down in the West End
They know me better than all of my best friends
When I'm out of this town, I don't need to pretend
There's a suitcase ready right next to my bed
So don't you tempt me or I'll be gone in ten
Wish it was so easy to forgive and forget
But I can't

[Chorus]
Now I feel like I'm runnin' in place, feel like I'm runnin' in place
Every familiar face is goin' nowhere
Feels like I'm runnin' in place, yeah, like I'm runnin' in place
I'm tryna find an escape, I'm goin' nowherе
There's not a reason to stay, and thеre's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane, then I'm already there
Instead of runnin', runnin', runnin' in place

[Post-Chorus]
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
(I'm runnin', run-runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
(I'm runnin', run-runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place

[Verse 2]
I hope you don't mind, don't take this personal
That I see the light at the end of this dark road
And I think I might just leave here on my own, my own

[Chorus]
Now I feel like I'm runnin' in place, feel like I'm runnin' in place
Every familiar face is goin' nowhere
Feels like I'm runnin' in place, yeah, like I'm runnin' in place
I'm tryna find an escape, I'm goin' nowhere
There's not a reason to stay, and there's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane, then I'm already there
Instead of runnin', runnin', runnin' in place

[Post-Chorus]
(I'm runnin', run-runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
(I'm runnin', run-runnin', runnin')
Runnin', runnin', runnin' in place

[Bridge]
I, I've gotta get out
Yeah, I, I gotta get out
I, I gotta get out
So I, gotta go right now

[Chorus]
Feel like I'm runnin' in place, feel like I'm runnin' in place
Every familiar face is goin' nowhere
Feels like I'm runnin' in place, yeah, like I'm runnin' in place
I'm tryna find an escape, I'm goin' nowhere
There's not a reason to stay, and there's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane, then I'm already there
(I'm runnin', run-run-run-runnin')
Instead of runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
