Jesse McCartney - Running Away Lyrics

I need a break from it all 
Some space from it all for a minute 
I’m trying to make sense of it all 
This place is so unforgiving 
Wanting and waiting 
And somehow it’s another winter 
Big plans and big dreams 
Are over now

[chorus:]
‘Cause I’m running away, 
running away 
I gotta do it, make my escape from this world I’ve been living in 
Nothing’s holding me down 
I’m leaving this town 
I gotta do it, deep down I know 
That as long as I stay true, 
It doesn’t matter where I’m running to 

Standing alone in the crowd 
Can’t find my way out but I’m trying 
Everything’s within my reach 
But everything seems like it’s nothing 
When you’re looking for something 
That’s better than what is around you 
All these illusions are over now.

[chorus]

And all I wanted was someone 
Who could see that I ain’t just like anybody 
All I needed was someone who could 
Tell me it’s all right 

I’ve waited all this time to be a part of something 
I want it so bad and there’s no reason to it. 
Looking back ‘Cause now I know I finally feel alive 

[chorus]
