The back porch is softer than my bed
′Cause it hasn't seen the times I′ve cried
I keep 'em all there filed away in my head
I've said it before and I′ll say it again
On bad days it′s like a poison, it destroys and
Stains every place I've ever called my home
And I just wanna run away
I wanna run toward something new
I wanna run away
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna run
But how do I know when I′m done?
How do I know, how do I know
How do I know when to run
Wherever I go, I always know
All that will follow, but give me a chance
To simply set today apart from tomorrow
Will I ever stop stopping to wonder
If I savor lightning far too quick
Burn through what's bright
Before I′ve even heard the thunder
And I just wanna run away
I wanna run toward something new
I wanna run away
I wanna run, I wanna run, I wanna run
But how do I know when I'm done
How do I know
How do I know, how do I know when to run
I bought a cake, it′s no one's birthday
And now my mouth is blue
I feel the sugar coursing through
I didn't know what else to do
But I′ll trade coffee for water
It′ll last about a week
I'll rinse two new tattoos
For fifteen minutes at the kitchen sink
And I will find a way
To make it back to where I′ve been before
And I will try today
To open 'stead of closing every door
And I will find a way
To tell myself that I′ve been there before
And I will try today
To open 'stead of closing every door
