Internet Salad - We're Running Lyrics

I didn't have the words that night
But we're both trying, so you say it's fine
But it's like, why
I got the words, right
I think em up every night
When I try for shut eye
Conversations, in my head
They're on repeat
In my bed, it can be hard to sleep
If you hand me a pen
I can map out the ceiling
From memory
Memory, energy
Runs through me
As I walk with Tony
Walkin on the street
Don't know where we're going
We know where we wanna be
I wanna be found in the sound community
Tradin' beats
Grab your guitar
We make some heat
If you sing with me
Then look at our feet
Cause we're running
We're running
We're running
Are you running
To something
Are you running
From something
For me it's a bit of both
You know how it goes
Might fluctuate
Depending on the day
Or whatchu say
If it rains
I think we'll be ok
If you feel ok
Then we can live a while
If you feel like shit
I can throw a smile
Your way, any day
I'll come running

Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice

I had this dumb idea when I was 18
I really thought I knew everything
And honestly
That was recently
This album drops
After I'm 20
That's right
20 years still a fool
Thought my life was just like a swimming pool
But it's more like a river, flowing fast
I tried to fight it and I barely made a splash
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in fate
I think most times we choose our own way
But there are times too when you gotta say screw it
And let the river take you wherever it do
It's just an observation
Based on limited information
I have attained through contemplation
Of various thoughts from various places
My shits a mess and I'm well aware
But it's my mess, that's how I do it here
I'm young and I'm dumb and I'm self aware
Just like my friends we don't really care
Then I see things change
In the world, In my brain
I wanna take the reins
Of my life, have a good time
Then my friends move away
And the house market changes
Suddenly I'm stuck
In a brand new place
My friends in arm's length
But now they are moving out
Miles away
I bike through remains
Of simpler days
If that is cliché it'll stay anyway
Neighborhood is gettin' quiet
In time it will be silent
And I'm growing with fear
I wanna be anywhere but here
Cause you got me out of my house
And you put me in a good mood
So If you're running errands
Then I'm coming too
You're running to your life
Determination in your eyes
And when I see that I smile
But I haven't seen you in a while
I'm running for my life
But I'm falling behind
Cause my shoelaces are tied
To each other and I cry
Cause laying in my bed
For as long I can
Is easier to me
Than reaching out my hand
To try to fix these laces
And go and meet new faces
And go see new places
I exist in stasis
I just a need a reason
To be away from where I am
But my reasons are leaving
So now it's in my own hands
On the Atlantic and pacific
Friends may be far but they're still living
In a dangerous world
Where the shrines line the streets
The roads compete for which
Can have more tragedies
And there's blood in the parking lot
Cause someone pulled their trigger
And now a couple lives are lost
Because of a short temper
And some kids you went to school with
Beg for change by the freeway
And I realize I don't know anything at all but I know how to run
How to run
How to run

Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
Running for my life I gotta make it cause I got no other choice
