I may settle down in Spain,
take the Trans-Cantabrico train
Join the locals in a bite to eat in a San Sebastian bar
Watch the pilgrims on their way,
wish a couple of them good day
Knowing every smile I wrote from
them shows a good heart takes you far
But I borrowed hope from tomorrow to pay for yesterday
I wrapped my heart in paper chains and wondered why it breaks,
so I ran
Yes,
I ran
I could rent that house in Maine,
use a totally made-up name
Spend my days just counting lighthouse strobes up and down the coast
Maybe surrender,
screams louder than defiance has a mind
But I've tried six ways from Sunday,
I'm gonna quit while I'm behind
My dreams a place where wish and fear met along the way
When they both became the same thing,
I know the nightmare's here to stay
And I ran
Yes, I ran
And I ran And I ran
I wrapped my heart in paper chains and let it break
I wore my heart on your sleeve like a ball of clay,
ignoring the things you've done
But take your time, you'll get nowhere fast,
better run
So I borrowed hope from tomorrow to pay for yesterday
I wrapped my heart in paper chains and wondered why it breaks
And I ran And ran
And I ran And ran
I wrapped my heart in
paper chains
and wondered why
it breaks I wrapped my heart in
paper chains
and wondered why it breaks I wrapped my heart in
paper chains
and wondered why it breaks
