The back porch is softer than my bed
'Cause it hasn’t seen the times I’ve cried
I keep ‘em all there filed away in my head
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again
On bad days it’s like a poison, it destroys and
Stains every place I’ve ever called my home
And I just wanna run away
I wanna run toward something new
I wanna run away
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna run
But how do I know when I’m done?
How do I know, how do I know
How do I know when to run
Wherever I go, I always know
All that will follow, but give me a chance
To simply set today apart from tomorrow
Will I ever stop stopping to wonder
If I savor lightning far too quick,
Burn through what’s bright, before I’ve even heard the thunder
And I just wanna run away
I wanna run toward something new
I wanna run away
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna run
But how do I know when I’m done
How do I know
How do I know, how do I know when to run
I bought a cake, it’s no one’s birthday
And now my mouth is blue
I feel the sugar coursing through
I didn’t know what else to do
But I’ll trade coffee for water
It’ll last about a week
I’ll rinse two new tattoos
For fifteen minutes at the kitchen sink
And I will find a way to make it back to where I’ve been before
And I will try today ‘ to open stead of closing every door
And I will find a way ‘ to tell myself ‘ that I’ve been there before
And I will try today ‘ to open stead of closing every door
