On The Run lyrics

Music & Lyrics by : Jeff Lynne

Originally performed by E.L.O. [The Electric Light Orchestra]



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



Chorus

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 known you asked them to stay

but they just won`t go away

don`t wanna lose it

but I gotta do it again



Chorus



Bridge

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



Chorus
