1. Steel to my trembling lips,
How did the night ever get like this?
One shot and the whiskey goes down, down, down
Bottom of the bottle hits
Waking up my mind as I throw a fit
The breakin' is takin' me down, down, down.

[Chorus:]
My heart's beating faster, I know what I'm after
I've been standing here my whole life,
Everything I've seen twice, now it's time I realize
It's spinnin' back around now, on this road I'm crawling
Save me cause I'm falling, now I can't seem to breathe right
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.

2. 'Round and around I'd go, addicted to the numb
Living in the cold
The higher, the lower the down, down, down
Sick of being tired and sick of waiting
For another kind of fix
The damage is damning me down, down, down.

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Woah ohhhhh
I'm coming alive
Woah ohhhhh
Wake up now and live oh.

Woah ohhhhh,
I'm coming alive.
A life that's always been a dream
Wake up now and live oh!

I've been standing here my whole life.

[Chorus:]

[Coda:]
Cause I keep runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin' from my heart.
