I'm hoping you take me away
Past the coast and the docks and boats
And I'm ready to be someone new
I just got to know if it's
Hope it's close to you
I've got one foot out the door
Got my boxes packed ready to not come back
And you tell me I could be more
That I've got one life and I've got to try and
Oh, you're not a passerby
Oh, it's no ordinary life
I've got a lot of things to do
With just seventy years of air in my lungs
What can a man of twenty-two even offer you?
I'm saving all I have now
I'm laying all of that down, yeah
Oh, you're not a passerby
Oh, it's no ordinary life
I know the truth about my life
And I won't let it pass me by
I know the truth about my life
I won't go down without a fight
Oh, you're not a passerby
Oh, it's no ordinary life
Oh, you're not a passerby
Oh, it's no ordinary life

Here is your wake up call
When both of your engines stall
This is your morning cup
Your daily pick me up
Rise and shine
Show them what you've got inside
This is your quiet place
It greets you with smiling face
But swing open that door
Show them what life is for
Rise to your feet
The morning breathes a
Sweet symphony of hope
Change is a funny thing
Cause it can bring the
Things that you wish for the most
So wake up and hope
Rise to your feet
The morning breathes a
Sweet symphony of hope
Change is a funny thing
Cause it can bring the
Things that you wish for the most
Yeah, the most
Yeah, the most
So wake up and hope

Won't you stop running
Everything's gonna be fine
It'll get better, just give it some time
Won't you sit down and listen for a while
Cause chasing you is running me
Yeah chasing you is running me wild
Won't you be still with me dear
Won't you be still
Can't we just talk for a while
Won't you just smile for me dear
Won't you just smile
Can't you just sit with me here
Instead of running wild
I say slow down and she accelerates
She's got no time for me
She's got no time to wait
She won't give me the time of day
Maybe someday I'll catch up to her and say
Won't you be still with me dear
Won't you be still
Can't we just talk for a while
Won't you just smile for me dear
Won't you just smile
Can't you just sit with me here
Instead of running
Don't you leave me behind
Don't you leave me behind, yeah
Can I run wild with you dear
Can we run wild
Can't we just follow the sun
Can I fall in love with you dear
Can we fall in love
Won't you just teach me to run, yeah
La da da da da da
Woah
La da da da da da
Cause chasing you is running me
Yeah chasing you is running me wild
