Lyrics: 1997. On The Run. One Track Mind, Four Track Heart.


With one hand fast against my mouth
trying not to let it out
cuz I've been caught between a puddle and a cloud
there's nothing new that I could say
to tell you why I couldn't stay
and why I wonder all my life
to find the one that got away

if only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had
If only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had

Without a single place to be
I'm dyin' fast and feeling free
I got my plans to live forever in a dream
(forever in a dream)

I need to know that I exist
Left to satisfy an itch (I've had for years)
I long to write a song the world cannot dismiss


if only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had
If only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had

You're the sunlight that never comes
You're the reason I don't believe
You're the reason I'm always on the run
away from everything and everyone
you're the reason I lie awake
a same recurring dream
a fever that wouldn't break
and I'm sweating in my sleep to hear you say

if only I could find a place to rest
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had


if only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had
If only I could find a place to rest
(I'm running in circles)
If only I could see that dreams were all I ever had
If only I could hold your face again
(I'm running in circles)
and never have to sing if only I could change the past

I'm running in circles
