lyrics

Running In Place

Lost little girl with locks of gold
Thinks this love’s too hot - thinks this love’s too cold, well
Honey don’t run through another door
Till you know for sure what you’re going for

Do you need it to feel just right?
‘Cause it never does. I just thought it was, so
I guess you won’t be alone tonight
It might kill you to wait so you’re filling space
You’re just filling space
You’re just filling space
You’re just ...

Running in Place
(don't it feel like you're ...)
Running in Place
(growing so tired of ...)
Running in Place
(spend your whole life ...)
Running in Place

I dreamed I seen you bumping in the club with some fresh cut crush
All your liquid love has his heart rate up
He's reaching out 'cause he's starting to fall
But you just scream along to your favorite song
"No I don't wanna hold your hand!
I'm not looking for love, I'm just having fun!"
His kick drum heart beats boom, boom, BREAK
And you leave another lover boy dead on the dance floor

Running in Place
(don't it feel like you're ...)
Running in Place
(growing so tired of ...)
Running in Place
(spend your whole life ...)
Running in Place

You don't even try to sleep at night
And baby, maybe you've got it right
'Cause I toss and turn - night and day
I close my eyes - I see your face
I try and try, but I can't get away
I can't get away
I can't get away
I can't ...

Running in Place
(don't it feel like you're ...)
Running in Place
(growing so tired of ...)
Running in Place
(don't it feel like ...)
Running in Place
(spend your whole life ...)
Running in Place ...
