I thought you were weeping
when I slipped out, the screen door slams
maybe you awoke or stopped playing pretend
I'm not going to lie no more
I'm not going to lie again
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
I could have stayed
but my mind sniffed at the old decay
Eighteen years
I kissed this place goodbye
No more last nights
In the same hotels, where the coopers sells
and all the sense I had went down the wishing well
This city ain't dead to me
It's got an eternal last breath
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
The newspaper falls on your east side porch
The radio reports another white wine display
There's one who fights and one who races
up through the hills and interstate
Are you tired of running
and not getting ahead?
There are reasons that we run you know
They're all inside your head
They're all inside your head
They're all inside your head
