The phone is off the hook
And Jimmy's got a gun
Sherry's in the river
And the river's gonna run again
Ooh, yeah

So you don't know where to go
You don't know where to hide
Holding all your tears
Keeping all your pain inside

With your back against the wall
Heart falling from your hands
You throw it in the river
The river's gonna hide it again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But you are not alone
But you're not safe at home

And you're running back, running back
While you're off track, looking for a home
For a house to call your own
You need a phone, you feel all alone
Don't know where to start
While you're falling apart
And you need someone to hold
Your hands are cold
You feel a little older
You need a shoulder, alone
But you're not alone

What they will believe
And if you wanna change
How's it meant to be
Even if they think you're strange

Oh, you wanna live a life
You need to break away
Counting on your hands
The days you have left to pay

But you are not alone
But you're not safe at home

Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da

And you're running back, running back
While you're off track, looking for a home
For a house to call your own
You need a phone, you feel all alone
Don't know where to start
While you're falling apart
And you need someone to hold
Your hands are cold
You feel a little older
You need a shoulder, alone
But you're not alone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh
I know you can make it
Just try not to fake it

Oh, don't give up
Don't give up

And you're running back, running back
While you're off track
Looking for a home
For a house to call your own
You need a phone, you feel all alone
Don't know where to start
While you're falling apart
And you need someone to hold
Your hands are cold
You feel a little older
You need a shoulder, alone
But you're not alone
