I can tell that you’re running faster,
Running from a kind of disaster in your chest
They say you’re too young to feel it,
But your mind just keeps on reeling
Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?
Yeah, your momma and your daddy don’t know you,
While everybody’s tryna show you
Why you’re wrong
So you’re packing up and leaving,
Thinking one day you’ll get even, with ‘em all
Now you’re out on your own for the first time,
Looking back for the last time, how’s it feel inside?
Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?
What you gonna do just to stay alive?
Where you going now, my runaway?
Where you gonna run to, where you gonna run and hide?
Will you find your answers, runaway?
In the dark of the night
Where there’s no one there to hold you tight
Out on the streets, all alone, you’re feeling
Like you’ll never find your way back home
Then it hits and you start remembering
Who you are and where you’ve come from
Then you see that sweet-talking Johnny boy,
He’ll promise you the world just to make you a toy
You think it’s love
Where you gonna run to, where you gonna hide?
What you gonna do just to stay alive?
Where you going now, my runaway?
Where you gonna run to, where you gonna run and hide?
Will you find your answers, runaway?
In the dark of the night
Where there’s no one there to hold you tight
(Outro / Bridge)
Where you going now, my runaway?
Where you gonna run to, where you run and hide?
Will you find your answers, runaway?
In the dark of the night
Where there’s no one there to hold you tight
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night—next town in sight
