Gone Before Dawn

I lay sideways in your backseat
While the traffic lights silently judge me
And you kept giving me attitude
If you know me now then you knew me then
I haven't made any new friends
I'm still the same lucky boy who got away
I ran away, I ran away
It was too dangerous to stay
I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment
I ran away, I ran away
I was too afraid to stay
You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment
And the sounds started cutting out
And I could hear the strange thoughts you were keeping
And I stopped accepting that excuse
If you don't want me now then you never did
You can curse my name but I'll still live
So just walk away
I ran away, I ran away
It was too dangerous to stay
I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment
I ran away, I ran away
I was too afraid to stay
You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment
I'll see you around
In the underground
The caverns of my nightmares
My dreams keep pushing you away
Feet on the ground
Doesn't mean a thing
If you want to be moving
I'm watching you waste away in place
I ran away, I ran away
It was too dangerous to stay
I couldn't keep you in one piece for more than a moment
I ran away, I ran away
I was too afraid to stay
You couldn't keep me happy for more than a moment
I ran away, I ran away
I ran away, I ran away
