[Verse 1:]
I was wondering
All the time that I was waiting
When would I rise
From the years that I'd been hating
For the first time
Living seemed to mean so much to me
Like the day time
Shining from the night that used to be
[Pre-Chorus:]
Just when it seemed like
My chances all had gone
I found a reason to fight to carry on
[Chorus:]
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
But take what you want
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Hold up your head
Love on the run
[Verse 2:]
So the page turned
Someone there to read my history
Understanding
Always wants to see the best in me
For the future
Looking just a little like a dream
Warm and hazy
Living everyday but more extreme
[Pre-Chorus:]
Just when it seemed like
My chances all had gone
I found a reason to fight to carry on
Look what you've done
[Chorus:]
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
Write your own story
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Revel in glory
Love on the run
[Chorus:]
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
But take what you want
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Hold up your head
Love on the run
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Love on the run
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
Hold your head up
[Chorus:]
Look back in anger
Look back in fun
Write your own story
Love on the run
Life hates a loser
Look what you've done
Revel in glory
Love on the run
I was wondering
