Story Behind The Song

I had a friend who could never keep a job or relationship so I modeled the song after them

Song Description

Blues rock song about someone who never stays in one place or with the same person. They are forever on the run because eventually everything new starts to get old so they leave perhaps because of fear or lack of commitment

Lyrics

Verse 1
How long til you're through with your goodbyes?
How long til you realize?
It ain't easier when you are no where to be found
You never stick around

Chorus 1
On the run
Got no place to go
Is it fun
When there's no one that you know
Every new town and face grows familiar for too long
You can't deal with what is real
When you're on the run
Yea yea

Verse 2
Tell me are you afraid of getting hurt
Or don't you want to put in the work
Everything to you is a one night stand
Sounds like a lonely plan

Chorus 2
On the run
Never doing what you're told
And you're done
When you feel it getting old
It's going good until you lose control
Then you know it's time to go
When you're on the run
Yea yea yea

Bridge
Don't think you'll ever find what you're looking for
Another year goes by every time you shut the door
So keep on running from the shadows at your feet
How come when you go free
I'm chained to your memory
Oh yea

Outro
On the run
Never doing what you're told
On the run
It's what it feels to be it's what it feels to be alone
On the run
Mm hmm
