Lyrics

Whatever I do,where-ever I go,the same afterglow
Is keepin' me low,don't wanna lose it
But don't wanna stay here too long

They see you go by,i tell you no lie
You're up in the sky,make everyone cry
Don't wanna lose it,but don't wanna stay around here

Chorus

I'm on the run again
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,they think that
Nothing is wrong,and so they just carry on about you
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta move out of here

I see them waiting there for most of the day,i known
You asked them to stay but they just won't go away
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again

Repeat chorus

I know it ain't real,but when you are near
You're saying the things that I wanna hear
Don't wanna lose it,but I gotta do it again

Repeat chorus
