"Running" lyrics

What a way to act
To hold the gun
But not know the song
When you hear it sung

To take the rules
As the natural law
But how can you learn them?
You forget what you saw

Wait, I'm always running (Running)
I can't keep up, it seems
Even in my dreams
Look, not from the outside (Outside)
But how can I ask of you
What you don't know to do?

Play it safe
Or not at all
The way these things change
You know you're bound to fall

Win the war
And shake the hands
I've grown this tall
Not knowing how to stand

Wait, I'm always running (Running)
I can't keep up, it seems
Even in my dreams
Look, not from the outside (Outside)
But how can I ask of you
What you don't know to do?

What's there to think?
What's there to say?
