Runaway

You fell out of my name

'Cause I must've lost my tolerance

Been covering my pain talking to a quiet audience

I knew that crash was coming then

I felt it in my blood

Great grandma was a voodoo girl

She told me bout the flood

She sang boy you are a runaway

You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away boy

You are a runaway

And nothing's gonna change unless you change

I'm sorry I can't talk right now

Some things are out of my control

My fathers in the jailhouse no

I think he's in the hospital

My mother is incredible

She's held us for so long

She's like the breath behind my words

Should have the rights to all my songs

She sang boy you are a runaway

You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away boy

You are a runaway

And nothing's gonna change unless you change

I've always been a shy kid

There's a shadow on my name

I've learned you're supposed to deal with it

I've had a taste of fame

But something always holding back

My politeness isn't fought

But it's never done me any good

I should probably let it go

And say boy you are a runaway

You won't have nothing in your hands until you give it all away boy

You are a runaway

And nothing's gonna change unless you

Nothing's gonna change unless you change

Out of nowhere

I'm leaning in your window singing

Songs out of my soundtrack

Play it back

Permanently into your heart

Boy boy you are a runaway

Boy boy nothing in your hand

Boy boy you are a runaway

Boy boy nothing in your hand
