Lyrics

I’m standing in one place
But my mind is miles ahead
Chasing bigger numbers
Chasing dreams that keep me fed
I run after the shiny things
The ones I think will make me whole
No footsteps in the real world
But I’m losing bits of soul

I keep running, but I never get away
I keep running, but I never get away

I tell myself it’s worth it
That success will calm my mind
I scroll through other lives
Pretending that I’m doing fine
I run in silent circles
Trying to fill a space inside
But everything I’m chasing
Keeps on shifting with the tide

I keep running, but I never get away
I keep running, but I never get away

I look steady on the outside
Like I’m anchored to the ground
But I’m blinded by the future
Missing all the life around
I’m escaping quiet moments
Escaping simple things that heal
Running after versions
Of a life that isn’t real, yeah

I keep running, but I never get away
I keep running, but I never get away

No suitcase, no direction
Just a hunger I can’t trace
A shadow made of wanting
All the things I can’t replace
I stay exactly where I am
But inside I drift and slide
A man who keeps on chasing
While the world slips by outside

I keep running, but I never get away
I keep running, but I never get away
I keep running
But I never get away
