lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tiptoe over people in their numbers
Watch the world go by
Bite your tongue and turn the other cheek, boy
Push away, push it all aside

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m waiting
On the last train home
Saving up my words
And I’ve been waiting
On the time to come
But you're gone away, you're gone
And I will

[Chorus]
Run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won’t come back
I’ll run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won't come back, come back to you

[Verse 2]
Cutting corners
Walk the other way from
Everything you held so dear
Rarely do they walk from the surface
Sly hands with nothing in between

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m waiting
On the last train home
Saving up my words
And I’ve been waiting
On the time to come
But you're gone away, you're gone
And I will

[Chorus]
Run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won’t come back
I’ll run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won't come back, come back to you

[Bridge]
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
When I’m lost out here
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
When I’m lost out here
I’ll be alright
I’ll be alright
When I’m lost out here
I'll be alright
I'll be alright
When I'm lost I'll

[Chorus]
Run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won’t come back
I’ll run from you
Run from you
Honestly, and I won't come back
Come back
Come back to you
