She needed shelter from the rain She saw it on the sign It said 'We're open till midnight' (Open till midnight)
I'm sorry by the way I came here just the other day And you look so familiar (Look so familiar)
And maybe you and I can have a drink And start the night with a friendly conversation (You know)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you runnin' away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you runnin' away from? What you runnin' away from?
She woke up at 4 A.M. To smoke a cigarette again And she stood in the doorway (Stood in the doorway)
She said I love to watch you sleep Then hear the secrets that you keep And remember what my father told me (Told me)
He said stay strong and don't forget to call But don't ever come back at all
Can you and I be truthful now? What you runnin' away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you runnin' away from? What you runnin' away from?
Things don't turn out quite the way we planned, didn't you even try When you knew something steered you wrong again?
When did you decide You don't belong here, you don't belong? (No)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you runnin' away from? And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you runnin' away from? (What you runnin' away from?)
Can you and I be truthful now? What you runnin' away from? (What you runnin' away from?) And then you numb the pain To make it through somehow What you runnin' away from? (What you runnin' away from?)
I'm just a runaway, I seek the end you follow I cannot think today (What you runnin' away from?)
