Can't Run Away - words and music by Tim Erskine
play mp3
Got my suitcase knocking on the side of my knee
There's a hole in my chest where my heart used to be
I'm alone in this airport
waiting on the last red eye
Well, it's the late night, desolated, terminal ill
trying to keep something down at the Runway Grill
I'll be gone for a month
and I'm beginning to wonder why
I thought by leaving this place
I might stop seeing her face in space
But I'm still in love
and there ain't no running away, now
Oh, I still want her
and there's just no hiding away for me, now
I'm still in love
and there ain't no running away, now
Oh, I can't run away from feeling the way I do
Well, I've never been good at 'de hands of defeat
so I'm hanging out here at my mountain retreat
watching my dreams blow away
with the smoke of the campfire
But it's a great dark night to be lost in the woods
while I'm waiting for hope
to come across with the goods
It's a cold night in hell
and I'm freezing alone in a quagmire
I thought by leaving that place
I might stop seeing her face in space
Chorus
I could let it go
and I should let it go
but I won't let it go
'cause I can't let it go
But I know I'll fall out of love
when I admit this love is the wrong one
Wherever I go, the airlines lose my baggage
but I've got plenty to carry
I'm schlepping around my heavy heart
like a beat-up piece of old luggage
Chorus
I can't run away from being in love with you
