Running Away © 1984 Thomas Hemenway

Surely you don't think, I'm gunna let you do this to me.
You think you're slick but you're not, and soon, very soon they will all see.
You're running away, away with yourself, well take a good look into the mirror.
Tell me what do you think of yourself,oh is it what you thought you were.
Ooooh, running away, Oooh, you've got to plant your feet or you're not going to stay.

The morning light appears, and you know there's only today.
Tomorrow never knows, but they say you can see what's ahead of you.
You're running away, away with yourself, well take a good look into the mirror.
Tell me what do you think of yourself, oh is it what you thought you were.
Ooooh, running away, Oooh, you've got to plant your feet or you're not going to stay.

Running away, running awaaay, running away, running, awaaayea.....
You've got to learn it, live it, you've got to earn it, give it.
You've got to learn it, live it. you've got to earn it, give it.

Running away, running away, running away, running awaaayea....
