We say good-bye I turn my back Run away, run away So predictable Not far from here You see me crack Like a bone, like a bone I′m so breakable
And I take everything from you But you′ll take anything Won′t you?
Run away, run away Like a prodigal Don′t you wait for me Don′t you wait for me So ashamed, so ashamed But I need you so And you wait for me And you wait for me
I′m on the road To who knows where? Look ahead, not behind I keep saying There′s no place to go Where you′re not there On your rope, I hold tight But it′s freeing
And I take everything from you But you′ll take anything Won′t you?
Run away, run away Like a prodigal Don′t you wait for me Don′t you wait for me So ashamed, so ashamed But I need you so And you wait for me And you wait for me
Everybody wants to be right But only if it′s not day light? I keep trying to find my way back My way back
Run away, run away Like a prodigal Don′t you wait for me Don′t you wait for me So ashamed, so ashamed But I need you so And you wait for me And you wait for me
Runaway Runaway Runaway From you From you From you
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled I would run away and say good riddance, soon enough I had grown disgusted by your small - minded ceiling Imagine myself bolting had not been difficult
Soon be my life Soon be my pace Soon be my choice of which you′ll have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and Iam heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last I′d invite you but I′m busy being unoppressed

This is my town This is my voice This is my taste of which you′ve have no part of
Unprodigal daughter and I′m heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last I′d invite you but Iam busy being unoppressed
One day Iall saddle back and speak of foreign adventures One day Iall double back and tell you about these unfettered years One day Iall look back and feel something other than relieved Glad that I left when I did before, I know you, you can′t get the best of me
When Iad speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward When Iad speak of spirituality you would label it absurd When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head If I had stayed much longer, Iad have surely imploded
These are my words This is my house These are my friends of which you′ve had no part
Unprodigal daughter and Iam heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last Iad invite you but Iam busy being unoppressed
