Running from safety

Pittsburgh was alright,
found somewhere to stay last night/
some face at the show
with some place that we could go/
day breaks once more,
I wake up on someone's floor/
morning is here,
say the spilt ashtrays and half-filled beers

*CHORUS*
just running from safety,
like nothing can save me/
escape has enslaved me
with running away

its 7am and
I'm not quite sure where I am/
the sounds in the dark
of someone preparing for work/
a stretch and a yawn,
I still got my work clothes on/
cos my 9 to 5
is doing a ten hour drive

*2nd CHORUS*
just running from nothing,
not sure of the sure thing/
to stare at a small screen
and jump when the phone rings

#BRIDGE#
westbound on the 70,
three hours from Cinci

just running from safety,
like nothing can save me/
escape has enslaved me
with running away

(Chris murray - running from safety)

Goodbye

We don't have to try running from each other,
I read your eyes, you don't have to bother.
Maybe we'll survive if we don't discover
One life ties to another.

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And the stars won't burn,
In a broken sky.
And the wind won't surf
If the ocean's dry.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.

If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.

I'd rather die holding one another,
Your hand in mine, it's easier to suffer.
I understand why the world is out of colour,
One life ties to another.

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And the stars won't burn,
In a broken sky.
And the wind won't surf
If the ocean's dry.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.

If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.
Oh,
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.

Oh, before it never mattered,
And oh,
Oh, before it never mattered,
And oh,
Ohhh...

'Cause the world won't turn
If the sun won't rise.
And my heart won't work
If you say goodbye.
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.
Oh,
If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye, If you say goodbye
My hearts in trouble.

A beautiful mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are

Here we are
Here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we, tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today. Oh the way it was so worth it.

(Lyrics by Jason Mraz)
