you don't want me
calling you up
all melancholy
sick from love
you prefer it
uncomplicated
things are tricky now
i bet you hate it
and your mind's eye
finds the exit sign
and you're off in perfect fashion
and you run
(you run)
that's all you've ever done
(that's all)
it's all you know to do
(you know to do)
i can't hold that against you
and you'll flee
(you'll flee)
cause you're born to be free
(you're born to be free)
and if you go i'll understand
but you better get out while you can
the party's over
we had our fun
flirting with madness
a loaded gun
as much as nothing
everything's changed
i'm soaking in it
it falls like rain
(you seek the sun)
you seek the sun
to dry off what's been done
you'll heat up every corner of the world
as you run
(you run)
it's all you've ever done
(that's all)
that's all you know to do
(you know to do)
i can't hold that against you
and you'll flee
(you'll flee)
cause you're born to be free
(you're born to be free)
and if you go i'll understand
but you better get out while you can
but can you keep this pace forever
i have never
seen it done
you deep burn all you
(all you leave)
leave behind you
(behind)
you're the surface of my sun
i measure
to what degree
i can shape up
what's been forged in me
the copper penny
hissing in the pool
so much for wishes
so much for cooling down this fire
impossible desire
the further you get
the more i'm drawn
and you run
(you run)
that's all you've ever done
(that's all)
that's all you know to do
(you know to do)
i can't hold that against you
and you'll flee
(you'll flee)
cause you're born to be free
(you're born to be free)
and if you go i'll understand
(i understand)
yeah you run
(you run)
that's all you've ever done
(that's all)
that's all you know to do
(you know to do)
i can't hold that against you
and you'll flee
(you'll flee)
cause you're born to be free
(you're born to be free)
and if you go i'll understand
(i understand)
but you better get out while you can
