Feel the road, the ground beneath me
Cross the field and the fading sky
Through the trees, I hear your voice inside me
“Where, where will you go?” It cries, it cries
And the mountains come in view, and I’m
Faster now–break through this fence of you, I break this fence of you
Where, O where, where can I go?
Where can I flee?
I run so wide and long but still you follow
Where, O where, where can I go?
Where can I flee?
I chase the dark but still the sun is rising
I never said I’m perfect
But of course you always were
If you, if you knew I’d deceive you, how could you love me?
It’s just my flesh you always knew, you always knew
You made me who I am, but I can outrun you
I can outrun you
Where, O where, where can I go?
Where can I flee?
I run so wide and long but still you follow
Where, O where, where can I go?
Where can I flee?
I chase the dark but still the sun is rising over me and I–
I can find my way without you and your thoughts–
I have my own, I have my own thoughts, you should know
Alone in these hills I’ll be perfect
And the whole world will love you in my place
Let me go, I’m almost without you
I’ll tear your world away, I’ll make something new
O where, where can I go?
Where can I flee?
I feel you at my heel and still I’m here
O where, O where can I go?
O where can I be?
I chase the dark and now the sun is rising over me
