When all else fails, I'll just assume I'm overtired

But I'll go tooth and nail to find a way to stay inspired

She's got a beautiful mind but my heart strings are bending

How could I enter a maze with no ending?

There's more to me than where I came from, so



I'm running away from the days that made me unstable

And I'm taking a chance on the lesson I learned

It's that, whoa, you got the best of me

But no, you won't take what's left of me

So I'm running away, I'm running away from you and me

(From you and me)



The piece that's missing is buried underneath the ground, you see

If this is temporary, I don't wanna lie to myself anymore

Well baby, I'm breaking out of this upstate town

I'm steering away from the safe and sound

There's more to me than where I came from, so



I'm running away from the days that made me unstable

And I'm taking a chance on the lesson I learned

It's that, whoa, you got the best of me

But no, you won't take what's left of me

So I'm running away, I'm running away from you and me

(From you and me)



I always wanted to be somebody

That makes everybody feel like somebody

I'm sorry to say I don't love you more than myself

No need to cry for help



I'm running away from the days that made me unstable

And I'm taking a chance on the lesson I learned

It's that, whoa, you got the best of me

But no, you won't take what's left of me

So I'm running away, I'm running away from you and me

(From you and me)
