Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - On The Run Lyrics

Whatever I do, wherever I go,
The same afterglow is keepin' me low,
Don't wanna lose it, but don't wanna stay here too long

They see you go by, I tell you no lie,
You're up in the sky, make everyone cry,
Don't wanna lose it, but don't wanna stay around here

I'm on the run again, I'm on the run again,
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I hear them talkin' and they go on and on,
They think that nothing is wrong, and so they just carry on about you,
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta move out of here

I see them waiting there for most of the day,
I know you asked them to stay, but they just won't go away
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta do it again

I'm on the run again, I'm on the run again,
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again

I know it ain't real, but when you are near,
You're saying the things that I wanna hear.
Don't wanna lose it, but I gotta do it again

I'm on the run again, I'm on the run again,
But it's like what they say when it happens this way
You gotta do it again and again
