The Ballad of the Runaway

from Road Trip by Amanda McCarthy

/

about

Pretty lights have dimmed down in the darkness
Pretty lights won't light the way back home
Pretty lights won't show me what I need now
But without them I feel aimlessly alone

I'm not the girl you see in all the photos
I'm not the girl you see up on the stage
I'm not the girl you see behind the smile
But she's got my back, she's my saving grace

A wiser man once offered me advice I still resist
Runaways can't runaway from loneliness

I won't find the answers in the cosmos
I won't find the answers in the sea
I won't find the answers on the mountain
I just hope one day I'll find them in spite of me

A wiser man once offered me advice I still deny
Runaways can't runaway from what's inside

City lights won't vanish all my problems
Desert sun won't dry away my tears
Distance never made the heart grow fonder
I just hope one day that I'll be happy here
Oh yes I do, I hope one day that I'll be happy here
