"Running In Place" lyrics

In New York City, down in the West End
They know me better than all of my best friends
When I'm out in this town, I don't need to pretend

There's a suitcase ready, right next to my bed
So don't you tempt me, or I'll be gone in ten
Wish it was so easy to forgive and forget
But I can't

Now I feel like I'm running in place, feel like I'm running in place
Every familiar face is going nowhere
Feels like I'm running in place, yeah, like I'm running in place
I'm trying to find an escape, I'm going nowhere
There's not a reason to stay, and there's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane then I'm already there
Instead of running, running, running in place

Running, running, running in place
Running, running, running in place
(I'm running, run-running, running)
Running, running, running in place
(I'm running, run-running, running)
Running, running, running in place

I hope you don't mind, don't take this personal
That I see a light at the end of this dark hole
And I think I might just leave here on my own, my own

Now I feel like I'm running in place, feel like I'm running in place
Every familiar face is going nowhere
Feels like I'm running in place, yeah, like I'm running in place
I'm trying to find an escape, I'm going nowhere
There's not a reason to stay, and there's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane then I'm already there
Instead of running, running, running in place

(I'm running, run-running, running)
Running, running, running in place
(I'm running, run-running, running)
Running, running, running in place

I, I've got to get out
Yeah I, I got to get out
I, I got to get out
So I, got to go right through

Now I feel like I'm running in place, feel like I'm running in place
Every familiar face is going nowhere
Feels like I'm running in place, yeah, like I'm running in place
I'm trying to find an escape, I'm going nowhere
There's not a reason to stay, and there's no time left to waste
If I could hop on a plane then I'm already there
(I'm running, run-run-run-running)
Instead of runnin', runnin', runnin' in place
