Lyrics
Off Runnin'
I turned my back on a sunset today
I won't need 'em anymore
I never really understood 'til now
what they were for...
Turned my eyes away from that old chair
I won't ever sleep there again
I just knew it was a safe place to wait
for them...
Now I'm off runnin'...
I'm off runnin'...
Somewhere in their dreams I'll be there to greet them
I know they understand I never meant to leave them...
Now I'm off runnin'...
Yeah I'm off runnin'...
one last look into their eyes
one last walk into the hills
I knew it was a safe place to be
until my heart grew still...
until my heart grew still...
I'm off runnin'...
Somewhere in their dreams I'll be there to greet them
I know they understand I never meant to leave them...
Now I'm off runnin'...
Yeah I'm off runnin'...
I'm off runnin'...
Off Runnin'
