[Verse 1]
What a way to act, to hold the gun
But not know the song when you hear it sung
To take the rules as the natural law
But how can you learn them?
You forget what you saw

[Chorus]
Wait, I'm always running (Running)
I can't keep up, it seems
Even in my dreams
Look, not from the outside (Outside)
But how can I ask of you
What you don't know to do?

[Verse 2]
Play it safe or not at all
The way these things change
You know you're bound to fall
Win the war and shake the hands
I've grown this tall, not knowing how to stand

[Chorus]
Wait, I'm always running (Running)
I can't keep up, it seems
Even in my dreams
Look, not from the outside (Outside)
But how can I ask of you
What you don't know to do?
[Bridge]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
What's there to think?
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
What's there to say?

[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
