Can't Catch Us Now

You call, I’m free
so we’re talking
and you say to me,
“I need some time to breathe.
You’re overworked
and I’m underpaid,
Just once I wish
we could run away.”

I say, “I’m not doing anything, today.”

Well hey, hey, baby, let’s do something crazy,
I don’t have any plans to break.
Let’s run away, darling, the future is calling,
the world is ours to take.

So let’s run, yeah let’s go, let’s get out on the road
We won’t stop until the sun goes down.
Driving fast as we can, screaming out to the wind,
can’t catch us now, can’t catch us now.

So pack your things,
cuz I'm on my way.
It's a perfect day,
and we're only wasting it.

It's just you and me,
these four wheels
and these streets,
Close your eyes,
and you'll see
this is free, we are free.

Well hey, hey, baby, let’s do something crazy,
I don’t have any plans to break.
Let’s run away, darling, the future is calling,
the world is ours to take.

So let’s run, yeah let’s go, let’s get out on the road
We won’t stop until the sun goes down.
Driving fast as we can, screaming out to the wind,
can’t catch us now, can’t catch us now.

Well hey, hey, baby, let’s do something crazy,
I don’t have any plans to break.
Let’s run away, darling, the future is calling,
the world is ours to take.

And it's just you and me, these four wheels and these streets.
Close your eyes and you'll see, this is free, we are free.
Driving fast as we can, screaming out to the wind,
can't catch us now, can't catch us now.

Running in Circles

 I wouldn’t wish this on anyone,
I’m stuck in the middle, right back at square one,
You’re in the other corner and once again,
I hear my name ring out and the match begins.

Baby, we’re running in circles, and I’m running thin
of nerves, so I just give up and you move in
and I prepare for it, for the knockout punch
then you put your arms around me, and the cycle’s done
For now….

DEDICATED TO M&M

Pull me in, or set me free,
give me some kind of relief
I’m sick and tired of holding on
to “I don’t knows” and “maybe sos”

How many months are yet to come
before you tell me what you want.
How many nights can I take
before I finally walk away.

You’ve got my heart locked in your toy chest
to play with as you please,
but that’s not working for me.

Make me stay, or make me go,
either way, I’ve gotta know.
You’ve got my head spinning around.
Hold me tight, push me away
What does it take, to make you finally say it,
or will I fade away?

Give me a sign, write me a note,
Hurry quick, my head’s giving up,
I feel the walls about to close
And my heart is about to blow.

Are you too scared to be alone?
Am I company to keep you strong?
How do I look, through your eyes?
What do you see, when I smile?

You’ve got my heart locked in your toy chest
to play with as you please,
but that’s not working for me.

Make me stay, or make me go,
either way, I’ve gotta know.
You’ve got my head spinning around.
Hold me tight, push me away
What does it take, to make you finally say it,
or will I fade away, again?

Is this real this time, or another fake?
Am I just a pawn in your game?
Is this magic sincere
or is it just smoke and mirrors

If I walk out that door
I can’t turn around anymore
Here and now, final shot,
Baby, show me what we’ve got.

Make me stay, or make me go,
either way, I’ve gotta know.
You’ve got my head spinning around.
Hold me tight, push me away
What does it take, to make you finally say it,
before I fade away.

Run It

Little whispers tell me I should be ashamed,
“How can you live your life this way?”
I think I’m doing just fine, thanks.
So quick to curse someone, so quick to place the blame
so go on, deflect away,
I think I’ll probably be okay.

And I could name names, but what’s the use?
There’s a reason you only have rumors to speak as truth.

Run, run it, Honey,
let’s hear the latest story,
Please, tell me, just what have I been up to now?
Burn another bridge
with someone else who only tried to help you out
of the hole you dug when you ran yourself into the ground.

Now, how can I be mean to such a poor little soul?
“God gives us struggles”? Maybe so,
Or maybe, responsibilities? No? Oh.
I guess we’re all just waiting victims to some random deity,
It just hates you more than me,
and maybe that’s why I’m so, so mean.

Run, run it Honey,
let’s hear the latest story,
Please, tell me just what have I been up to now?
Burn another bridge
with someone else who only tried to help you out
of the hole you dug when you ran yourself into the ground.

So keep talking about how we’ve all done you wrong,
one by one, you bite the hand that feeds, but it’s you that’s the victim
but that’s okay,
I’m getting good at playing the villain.

Fools

Look with my eyes but choose not to see
Why remain blind? Baby, I’ll tell you, it’s for me.
Why turn my head from what is true?
I guess it’s cuz I don’t want to lose you.

And my dear you might not understand my intentions
but I swear I never meant no deception.
We’re so afraid of the answer to question
so we live our lives as fools and never content

Tell me how much are vows really heard?
We put so much faith, so much faith in a spoken word.
Tell me the price of a genuine oath,
so I’ll know, baby I’ll know, just how much I’m not worth.

And my dear you might not understand my intentions
but I swear I never meant no deception
We’re so afraid of the answer to the question
so we live our lives as fools and never content.
