Riding on a high, riding so high now I’m leaving
   Am I running far from my own fears
   I’m never facing up, I never face up to the reasons
   And never showing any of my tears
   ‘Cos I leave out the back way, not the way that I came in
   Because it seems like the logical way, at the time
  
   And then I run, run, run and seek a hideaway
   I’m on the run, run, run, I’m falling
   Run, run, I’m a runaway
  
   Can I go back, can I go back where I started?
   I always will remember my needs
  
   Take me far away, take me away to an island
   And leave me here to cry in my own tears
   Try me once again, try me again when you’re passing
   Maybe I’ll remember you in years
   I can’t go out the back way, just the way that I came in
   I hope it seems like the logical way, at the time
  
   Because I’ll run, run, run and seek a hideaway
   I’m on the run, run, run, I’m falling
   Run, run, I’m a runaway
   Can I go back, can I go back where I started?
   I always will remember my needs
  
   Looking for so long but I am listening longer
   I haven’t seen or heard a thing from you
   I can’t stay here, I couldn’t stay here if you paid me
   I can’t give you any guarantees
   I won’t go out the back way, not the way that I came in
   Because it seems like the logical way, at the time
  
   And then I run, run, run and seek a hideaway
   I’m on the run, run, run, I’m falling
   Run, run, I’m a runaway
   Can I go back, can I go back where I started?
   I always will remember my needs
  
   Can I go back, can I go back where I started?
   I always will remember my needs
   I always will remember my needs
   I said, I always will remember my needs
