Why do you run, from here to there?
Why so frantic, why so scared?
Why the need to push so hard?
Always putting up your guard.
I ask you out…. but you have plans
You pull away, because you can
You’re in a hurry, you’re out the door
Don’t want to see me, anymore.
You can’t commit, you have to work
Too afraid.…you might get hurt
“Let’s meet for dinner, let’s sit and chat”
You don’t have time, you can’t do that.
You can’t confirm, your schedule’s full
You live on coffee and rocket fuel
You can’t relax, you’re on the go
Got tickets for.…the evening show.
On the run… both day and night
Always feeling …. so uptight
You’re heading to, or coming from
Another day…. out in the sun.
So many places.…you want to see
You’re too tapped out, you’re never free
You’re always tired, you’re stretched too thin
Can’t take a chance, the day will end.
The scattered pieces of your life
Filled with heartache, filled with strife
Too hard to manage, can’t take a chance
You’ve given up, on sweet romance.
Guys kept at bay, can’t get too close
They quickly learn… that you’re a ghost
It’s your MO, to disappear
They get the hint, the message clear.
You feel so anxious, always wired
Wonder why…. you’re so damn tired
Hard to get ….. to speak to you
You can’t sit still, too much to do.
Put on the brakes, should take it slow
Don’t always need.… somewhere to go
Calm down, relax… what’s this about?
Guess you’re afraid.…you might miss out.
