I was sick and tired of waiting lost You were mad at me for so much more I was bored listening to the same old chords You would complain that I was never around And we shouldn't hope, no we shouldn't hope If love is so easy then why am I stuck If life is so smooth why can't I get enough I'm still lost and running Everyday moves like a hurricane That's dragging me around no matter what I say Night time in the city streets I'm out of luck The cobblestones are dark and wet there's no one I trust And it comes around, yeah it comes around Mr So'Easy say where have you gone I'm looking for somewhere I can lay down my arms I'm still Lost and running I'm taking my time ill let it float away Spare me no lies and you'll have nothing to say The further we slip into this rabbit hole The harder we look for a new place to go I'm still lost and running
