Running from Here
Witt Lowry Lyrics

Yeah, its always been dane
Yes, it has always been the same

Always the same
Consistently repeating pattern

All about the same girl and the same pain
All related to one girl and the same emotional suffering

Now I got two girls with the same name
Now I have two girls with identical names

Wait, I villain myself
Wait, I portray myself as the antagonist

See it's been a whole week
It has been a complete week

And i can't even tell
And I am unable to discern

Right between goin' to heaven or going to hell
In the middle of choosing between good and evil

Feel like I'm stuck in a cell
Feeling trapped or confined

Told me I'm sellin' my soul
Someone told me I am compromising my values

Are you sellin' yourself
Are you also compromising your values?

I feel like I'm walkin' on shells
I feel like I am constantly treading carefully

What should I tell, I feel like Adele
What should I say? I feel like Adele (emotional)

Feel like my hands in the air is the way that they want me
Feel like raising my hands is what they expect from me

Stay quiet and keep to yourself
Remain silent and avoid interaction

Maybe we're livin' in hell
Perhaps we are currently residing in hell

Maybe it's all in our minds, or all a matter of time
Perhaps it all exists within our thoughts, or it will happen eventually

You have no vision, you're blind
You lack foresight, you are ignorant

An lately I'm losin' myself
And recently I am experiencing self-doubt

Now I'm harder to find
Now it is more difficult to discover who I truly am

I feel like I'm stuck in a bine
I feel like I am trapped in a difficult situation

Feel like I'm stuck in a vine
Feel like I am trapped in an ongoing cycle

Loopin' a day at a time
Repeating the same day over and over

Wake up you're workin' at nine
Wake up and start working at nine

Why are we told never get out of line
Why are we advised to always follow the rules?

And why would I think you would ever be mine
And why would I believe you would ever belong to me?

You never gave me a sign
You never showed any indication

And now you're the one that I'm leavin' behind
And now you are the one I am abandoning

Runnin' from something that's bigger than I
Escaping from something more powerful than myself

I'm, so sick of nothin'
I am tired of feeling empty and unfulfilled

Wanna be somethin
Want to become something significant

Sausage McMuffin
Eating fast food to temporarily ease the pain

Just to ease the pain this morning while my stomachs rumbly
Only to temporarily alleviate discomfort while my stomach is growling

Minimum wage
Earning the lowest pay

Another day that I can't pay
Another day where I cannot afford expenses

Nothings stuck in fuckin' gray
Nothing is stagnant or ambiguous

You eat gourmet I microwave oven
You consume high-quality cuisine while I rely on a microwave

Runnin' you're stuck on a leash
Running, but still limited by restrictions

Wanna see Spain, and I wanna see Greece
Want to visit Spain and Greece

Wanna see things I would never believe
Want to witness unbelievable experiences

I wanna wake up with a view of the sea
I want to start my day overlooking the ocean

I wanna believe, I wanna achieve
I want to have faith and accomplish my goals

I wanna perceive everythin' I could be
I want to comprehend my full potential

Perceiving is key
Understanding is crucial

We are what we see
Our perception shapes who we are

And lately I've been in this rut
And recently I have been stuck in this unproductive state

Now I wanna be, free
Now I desire to be liberated

I don't wanna hold back for you
I do not want to restrain myself because of you

Put it all on my back for you, I
I carry the burden for you

I don't know whats after you
I do not know what comes next after you

Who's after you, who knows
Who else desires you, who can say?

Lose myself chasin' after you, I
I lose my identity while pursuing you

Only ever got half of you, I
I only ever received a portion of you

Who's after you, who knows and who cares
Who else desires you, who can say and why does it matter?

Cause I'm run run I'm running from here
Because I am constantly running away from this place

You're watching me run run I'm running from here
You observe as I run away

Oh, no no no no no
Expressing denial or disbelief

I guess what I wanna say is I feel stuck
I suppose what I want to convey is that I feel trapped

I do like a girl with a big butt
I appreciate a girl with a large posterior

I either don't drink or get too drunk
I either abstain from alcohol or consume excessive amounts

And pass out on my best friend's futon
And fall asleep on my closest friend's couch

I need to move on from this basic shit
I must progress beyond these simple matters

I wake up, eat and go and take a piss
I wake up, eat, and use the bathroom

You do somethin' fun and have to take a pic
You engage in enjoyable activities and feel the need to document it with a photo

And really life is a movie
And truly, life is like a film

Go and make a flick
Go and create a movie

You gotta make a pick
You must make a choice

You gotta take a chance
You must take a risk

Can't see the world when it's in your hands
Cannot fully appreciate the world when you are preoccupied with controlling it

And when I first started it was Ty and Dan
And when I initially began, it was Ty and Dan (referring to specific individuals)

Now it's still us, plus a couple fans
Now it is still us, along with a few supporters

I've been stressin' and I've been workin' hard
I have been experiencing stress and putting in effort

Hard is not enough when you regard a star
Perseverance alone is insufficient when aiming for greatness

Been shootin' far only hittin' mars
I have been aiming high but only reaching a mediocre level

There is more to life than just girls in bars
Life holds greater significance beyond nightlife and romantic encounters

There is more to life than just gettin' by
Life offers more than mere survival

Now you drink the pain so you can chase the high
Now you consume substances to numb the pain and seek euphoria

When they say you can't, you gotta question why
When people tell you that you cannot, you must inquire about the reasoning behind it

You will never understand my plan to drive, damn
You will never comprehend my determination to succeed

Still stuck in this town
Still trapped in this locality

Think of the lights while I'm ridin' around
Imagine the bright city lights while I am cruising

I focus on me I don't care who you found
I prioritize myself, I am unconcerned about who you discovered

I'm coming for king only thing is the crown
I am striving for greatness, the only thing I desire is the crown (symbolic)

I'm tired of feelin' so down
I am exhausted by constantly feeling low

They say that I'll make it as soon as I'm found
They claim that I will succeed once I am discovered

But fuck being found
But screw being discovered

I stuck to my morals and ground
I adhered to my principles and stood firm

I care about my passion, my heart and my sound
I value my enthusiasm, my emotions, and my music

I care about the people here holdin' it down
I care about the individuals who are persevering

My ex was a mess who was messin' around
My former partner was chaotic and engaging in unfaithful behavior

Ignorin' your texts you're irrelevant now
Ignoring your messages, you are now insignificant

It's over and now imma run 'til I'm found
It is finished, and now I will keep running until I am discovered

No time to wait
There is no time to waste

Runnin' from somethin' I'm tired of safe
Escaping from something because I am tired of playing it safe

I wanna be someone you never replace
I want to be irreplaceable in your life

I only see pain when I stare at my face and
I only perceive suffering when I look at myself

Damn, open your eyes
Damn, be observant

Open your heart
Be receptive and compassionate

Open your mind
Be open-minded and receptive to new ideas

You're taking your time
You are proceeding at a slow pace

You're taking too long
You are utilizing excessive time

They're gonna forget you without a new song
People will disregard you if you do not release new music

It's, kinda funny how the game works
It is somewhat amusing how the system operates

Talk about money bitches get paid dirt
Discuss money and women receive minimal compensation

And we all end up in the same hearse
In the end, we all die and are transported in the same vehicle

So your legacy is really what makes worth
Therefore, your legacy truly determines your value

And, I don't wanna be stuck in this loop
And I do not want to remain trapped in this cycle

Complacent and basic is how you will lose
Being content and ordinary will result in failure

We're standin' for somethin' we're able to choose
We are advocating for something we have the ability to select

And honestly, Mark, I've been runnin' from you
And to be honest, Mark, I have been trying to avoid you

No, I don't wanna hold back for you
No, I do not want to restrain myself because of you

Put it all on my back for you, I
Carry the burden for you

I don't know whats after you
I do not know what comes next after you

Who's after you, who knows
Who else desires you, who can say?

Lose myself chasin' after you, I
I lose my identity while pursuing you

Only ever got half of you, I
I only ever received a portion of you

Who's after you, who knows and who cares
Who else desires you, who can say and why does it matter?

Cause I'm run run I'm running from here

You're watching me run run I'm running from here

You're watching me run run I'm running from here
