On The Run Lyrics
i grew up on the run.
i guess that you can say
i am my father's son.
i'm haunted every day
by the choices i have made,
and that's something
i couldn't say to just anyone.
i spent my best years on the road.
done my share of rambling,
think i'll head back to my home.
but no where ever seems
like it's the only place for me.
so as much as i don't want to be alone,
i gotta leave.
sometimes you gotta hurt
to feel okay.
sometimes you gotta run
to make your problems go away.
no one ever taught me
what i really need to know.
like how to love some one,
and let em' go...
let em' go, let em' go
how can you really love someone,
and let em' go?

this song is really short and sad. its packed with emotion and honesty.
i like the video too, that 1997 posted in a blog on their myspace. it's supposed to be like a "companion piece" to their next video which is for One Track Mind, Four Track Heart. i can't wait to see that one too.
this band has really progressed and captured me with their new album. i was really sketchy about it at first but im so in love and can't stop playing it.
