Well I've been known to run in circles
Whichever way the wind blows
Like something from a bad dream
When someone's climbing through your
window I was standing out on First Street
Was hoping I could come clean So I called you from a payphone
Cause ain't nobody wanna be alone
But what if I fall behind?
And what if I lose my way?
Will you see the stutter in the step Or the lines in my face?
Or the strain in my voice?
Always running from the shadows
And the things that I can't change Like I'm waiting on the rain
When I was just a young boy Before my mom became a widow
My father told a story I still hear it in my pillow
Yeah,
it's something about a circus And wherever life will take us
Oh,
the road don't get clearer If you're stuck looking in the mirror
But what if I fall behind?
And what if I lose
my way?
Will you see the stutter in the step Or the lines in my face?
Or the strain in my voice?
I'm always running from the shadows
And the things that I can't change
Like I'm waiting on the rain
I've been living with my fingers crossed
And praying to God that I'm not forgot
I'll keep wandering through open doors
Till I ain't gotta search no more
But what if I fall behind?
And what if I lose my way?
Will you see the stutter in the step Or the lines in my face?
Or the strain in my voice?
I'm always running from the shadows
And the * that I can't change Like I'm waiting on the rain
