She needed shelter from the rain, she saw it on the sign, it said, "We're open 'til midnight"
(Open till midnight)
I'm sorry, by the way, I came here just the other day and you look so familiar
(Look so familiar)
And maybe you and I can have a drink and start the night with a friendly conversation, you know?
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you running away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through, somehow
What you running away from?
What you running away from?
She woke up at four AM to smoke a cigarette again, and she stood in the doorway
(Stood in the doorway)
She said, "I love to watch you sleep and hear the secrets that you keep, and remember what my father told me"
(Told me)
He said, "Stay strong and don't forget to call, but don't ever come back at all"
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you running away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through, somehow
What you running away from?
What you running away from?
Things don't turn out quite the way we planned
Didn't you even try, when you knew something steered you wrong again?
When did you decide you don't belong here, you don't belong?
No
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you running away from?
And then you numb the pain to make it through, somehow
What you running away from?
(What you running away from?)
Can you and I be truthful now?
What you running away from?
(What you running away from, oh)
And then you numb the pain to make it through, somehow
What you running away from?
What you running away from?
I'm just a runaway, I seek the end you follow
(Just an empty shell)
I cannot think today
(What you running away from?)
I'm just a runaway, I seek the end that you follow
I cannot think today, I'm just an empty shell
