Verse I
Last night got a little crazy
I don’t remember, woke up spun feelin lazy
My friends say I was spaced out,
Passed out on a dirty couch, still in the house
It kinda scares me, I don’t know
Am I out of control, always waking up still in my clothes
I wrote a note that said goodbye to pain, goodbye to shame
But couldn’t find a way, I just cry for days
I’m so depressed, soakin' wet, I can’t rest
These thoughts just beat me to death; I’m unkept
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But it’s been so long I can’t remember the words
Chorus:
Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, I’m right here, with you
Every time you run
Verse II
I keep sleeping in, don’t want to wake up
I keep hearing from the landlord, 'pay up'
Hide my face in my pillow till the sun sets
Hung over and I haven’t seen a pay check
I took a job downtown at the factory
I was hired and fired with no salary
I keep running from responsibility
It seems impossible, the pressure is hitting me
I know I need to man up, or sit down
Stand up and get out of this crowd
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But it’s been so long I can’t remember the words
Chorus:
Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, I’m right here, with you
Verse III
Well, I know I’m not ready to die, But I’ve
Sure thought about the meaning of life
Cause I can’t seem to find a purpose for me
It’s just the choices and I fail to proceed
I got a “get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up"
I hear voices in my mind, one's a devil, one's Jesus
I can feel it. Can you help me find the pieces?
Like an angel on my shoulder, you hold the
Joy of the lord raising up a soldier
You gave me the song my mom used to sing in church
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words
Chorus Repeats
When I first heard this song I didn't really get the meaning of it. But after I watched the video, I got it. This is how a lot of people feel. They feel they are so far away from Christ, when really they are right next to him.
