I swallowed the end of
The world with my problems

Thought maybe a girl could solve 'em
Don't let anyone in
I'm stuck with these sins
I'm hoping maybe time can absolve 'em

I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed to run free

Well that's all through
Thought I was runnin' from you

Turns out I was runnin' from me

La  La  La La  La  La
Runnin' away from me

La  La  La La  La  La
Runnin' from me

There's a girl who lives on my street

She said the flowers take care of the bees
She says she'll bring me a shore
Cause Daddy's at war
She's gonna take care of me

If history is violence and sex

I'd rather not pay my respects

If I've caused offense
I'm just trying to talk sense

Forgive me if I'm too direct

Or politically incorrect

La  La  La La  La  La
Runnin' away from me

La  La  La La  La  La

Runnin' away from me

Turns out I was runnin' from me

I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe
I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed room to breathe

I said I needed to run free

All that's through
Thought I was runnin' from you
Turns out I was runnin' from me
Turns out I was runnin' from me

La  La  La La  La  La
Runnin' away from me

La  La  La La  La  La
Runnin' away from me

Runnin' away from me

Runnin' away from me

Runnin' away from me

Runnin' away from me
