(Running back to you)
(Running back to you)
(Running back to you)
(Running back to you)

None of it seems to matter
Now that you're not laying next to me
Baby, it's the morning after
I miss your smile as the sun creeps in
I know I'm the one that chose this
But it's still hard to try and let you go
I swear I feel your fingertips
Pulling me right on home

Tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?
Please tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?

Tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?
Please tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?

Running back to you
Running back to you
Running back to
Running back to
Running back to you

I'm running back to, running back to
Running back to you
Running back, running back to
And what am I gonna
Running back, running back to
Running back, running back to

And what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?
Please tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?

Tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?




Please tell me, what am I going to do
To stop myself from running back to you?

Lyrics
None of it seems to matter
Now that you're not laying next to me
Baby it's the morning after
I miss your smile
As the sun creeps in
I know I'm the one that chose this
But it's still hard to try and let you go
I swear I feel your fingertips
Pulling me right on home

Tell me
What am I going to do?
To stop myself from running back to you
Please tell me
What am I going to do?
To stop myself from running back to you

To stop myself from running back to you
Running back to you

Funny how life continues
the heart repairs
the mind it learns to breathe
I can go on without you
And baby you can do it without me
But still I have these moments
Where I forget that we're not us no more
I type your name then close it
Remember that I walked out that door

Tell me
What am I going to do?
To stop myself from running back to you
Please tell me
What am I going to do?
To stop myself from running back to you

To stop myself from running back to you
Running back to you

Tell me when will it stop
Can my feet quit hitting the pavement
No more tears to fall
My well is running dry
And I’m starting to notice
The smell of your skin isn’t lingering
Can’t stop my self from run-running
Back to you

Running back to you
