I've been waiting to tell you,
I've been trying to tell you for so long,
Didn't know how to face you,
To cut this off.
Was it consideration,
A showing sense of a weakness on my part?
Was I hoping to finally
Hear my heart?
Am I patient for nothing?
Why can't you show me a little sympathy?
Tell me something is coming, please,
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone.
Can't you see we're living on the run?
Baby, close your eyes to realize,
Before it comes undone,
Can't you see we're living on the run?
Been battling a stranger,
That's how it feels in our bed again.
Know your not sleeping, baby,
But don't pretend.
Now it seems like I'm screaming,
Crying out but I can not hear a sound.
Make us sit in an hourglass,
I am moaning out.
Am I patient for nothing?
Why can't you show me a little sympathy?
Tell me something is coming, please,
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone.
Can't you see we're living on the run?
Baby, close your eyes to realize,
Before it comes undone,
Can't you see we're living on the run?
Why are we wasting all this time?
No one needs another empty night.
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone.
Just a word from you to hold on to
Before the night is gone,
Can't you see we're living on the run?
Baby, close your eyes and realize,
Before it comes undone,
Can't you see we're living on the run,
Living on the run,
Living on the run?
