Blinded by the desert sand and cast adrift at sea
I was walking out my front door thinking life might be the death of me
Not enough to keep but still too much to throw away
I've been gone for quite some time now,
But I'm coming home to stay

Now I'm done running, I promise you

But until you arrive somewhere you'll be running, you'll always be running
So stay away from me
We can't make a home like this when you're running
You'll always be running, so runaway, run away from me

I caught a taxi out of town and hitched the night away
I'm coming back to where I started, please don't tell me it's too late
Being lost is here and there, and it's such an uphill fight
If I can just get back to you somehow, maybe things will line up right

Now I'm done running, I promise you

Your luck is good you're riding high out on the sea
But I can't be the one you fall one, I can't be the one you need
And even if you kept your word, I took the chance
It wouldn't mean a thing, no not anything

Because until you arrive somewhere you'll be running
You'll always be running, won't matter where you go
We can't make a home like this when you're running
You'll always be running, so run away, run away!
