Written about a friend who was always searching for something more without ever taking the time to appreciate what she had in the here and now.
Lyrics
Now it's been a hard year, you were always in gear
No time to slow down and think
You’ve been running so fast, just to outlast
The thought you could ever sink
You’ve been fearing the worst, feeling so cursed
Pushing more than before
But you know in your soul you have little control
Yet you still try to grab for more
You can run run away, run run away
‘til your legs can’t move any more
That’s when you’ll find, some peace of mind
And you’ll know what you’re looking for
You’re on a slippery slope, feeling no hope
That things will get better again
Feeling burnt out, having no doubt
That now it’s just a matter of when
You say you’re feeling your age, feeling such rage
That life is wearing you down
Your vodka and gin, slowly doing you in
A clear pool - so easy to drown
You can run run away, run run away
‘til your legs can’t move any more
That’s when you’ll find, some peace of mind
And you’ll know what you’re looking for
I see everybody running 'round in a hurry
Never taking the time for the here and now
They're feeling their bodies running down from their worries
And that's when something's gotta give
'cause a soul ain't meant to live
In such fear and doubt
So after taking some time, I hope you can find
Somewhere along your road
You can set your own pace, this isn’t a race
And lighten your heavy load
You can run run away, run run away
‘til your legs can’t move any more
That’s when you’ll find, some peace of mind
And you’ll know what you’re looking for
You can run run away, run run away
‘til your legs can’t move any more
That’s when you’ll find, true peace of mind
And you’ll know what you’re looking for.
