Running To Stand Still

And so she woke up She woke up
From where she was lying still.
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going.
Step on a fast train
Step out Of the driving rain
Maybe, run From the darkness
In the night. Singing ah
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

Sweet the sin bitter the taste In my mouth.
I see seven towers But I only see one way out.
You gotta cry without weeping talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice.
You know I took the poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here,
singing ah la la la de day
ah la la la de day.

She walks through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway she brings me
White golden pearls stolen from the sea.
She is ragin' she is ragin' and the storm
Blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill
She's Running To Stand Still

Running to stand still, orignally by U2.
Are you running to get away, to leave and never look back?
To turn and run as fast as you can, without ever having to think about here again.
To abondon everything and all the people you will leave behind, but you don'treally care about the, becasue they never really cared about you.
Not becasue you feel alone, or traped, or even scared.
You just hate it here, and the people, and realise, in the end, after everything you've been through together, it doens't really matter.
It never did.
And it probably never will.
Think about that next time you're Running To Stand Still.
I do.
