It was better To keep my mouth shut And not say anything Like a love letter to a dying world But I couldn't have that Wouldn't take that And it was never going to get us anywhere What's life but an opportunity To get somewhere else And you can beat your drum You can preach these lessons While you s** your thumb like a baby You can run on home And the only thing I've noticed Is that I've been feeling happier lately You can run, run, run, run on home Run, run, run, run on home You can run, run, run, run on home Now I can feel Like there's a real life coming on And there's no part that I don't like And just leave it out, leave it out It's complete I'm fire, fire That burns impossible I'm through with all the insecurity that kept me down And you can cheat your smile And you can reach out kindly You can run on home And the only thing you'll notice Is that I've been doing a whole lot less crying You can run, run, run, run on home Run, run, run, run on home You can run, run, run, run on home I don't want to wish you ill but I've got to get it out So hard to swallow this pill but I've got to keep it down I'll see you standing by the river from the other side But this time I'll know who I am I'm the better man You can run, run, run, run on home Run, run, run, run on home You can run, run, run, run on home Don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you talk about love Don't you talk about love Now that I know, I know what love is
