lyrics

Sirens sing my dreams at night
Songs of running yellow lights
I been told so many lies by now
I hardly know up from down

I was the anchor that you kept around
You were the tornado that tore through this town
I got a weakness for kisses like fast cars
I lost track of the sun and the stars

And if you saw me walking down the street
Oh honey you would hardly recognize me
Cuz baby I'm a runner now

Baby I'm a runner, baby I'm a runner, oh baby I'm a runner, now

Truth looks different in your mirrors
And the wind changes when you speak
But my tired eyes now see clearer
Your love ain't the weather
And you can't control me with your hurricanes of fear

And if you saw me walking down the street
Oh honey you would hardly recognize me
Cuz baby I'm a runner now

And if I ever feel the muscle of a tongue
Well honey I'll be out right before you're done
Cuz baby I'm a runner now
And if anybody ever raises a hand against me
I'll be gone so fast, you could hardly see
Cuz baby I'm a runner now

Oh baby I'm a runner now
