[Verse 1]
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And though I started here
I ran away from you
I'm going to come on in
And see it through
[Verse 2]
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And when I heard you call to
Come back to me
And though I should stay
I don't have the stomach to
[Chorus]
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my belly is so full
There might be nothing left to do
So I ran away from you
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna come on in
My eyes were closed
I can feel it near
The sides so close
I'm gonna come on out
And burn the sky
[Verse 4]
A star arose in my own cage
I stuck in line
And in a cage
Just a single star
I sing for
[Chorus]
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my belly is so full
And I did not know what to do
And so I ran away from you
[Outro]
[Verse 1]
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And though I started here
I ran away from you
I'm going to come on in
And see it through
[Verse 2]
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And when I heard you call to
Come back to me
And though I should stay
I don't have the stomach to
[Chorus]
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my belly is so full
There might be nothing left to do
So I ran away from you
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna come on in
My eyes were closed
I can feel it near
The sides so close
I'm gonna come on out
And burn the sky
[Verse 4]
A star arose in my own cage
I stuck in line
And in a cage
Just a single star
I sing for
[Chorus]
Everyone I know
Says I'm a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my belly is so full
And I did not know what to do
And so I ran away from you
[Outro]
