Born to Run

Dear Anyone,
Everybodys out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide.

You wanna get outta here? Or there? Wherever you are. Do you wanna run with me? I was born to run. Let's go. It's now or never. I'm packing up, and I'm going. Where? i don't know. I'll follow the sun. I'll chase the moon. Whichever way the wind blows. Can we leave? Stranger, please? Can we go now? Let's just go. We don't even need to pack. Okay? We'll just go. Don't worry. We don't need to come back. We can just leave our stuff exactly where it is. We'll leave our literal baggage with our metaphorical baggage and we can soar. No devices to kill our brain cells. No people to kill our heart... cells? It'll just be us. But you gotta promise you won't up-n-leave.

You wanna keep running? You wanna never stop? You wanna feel the sun on your face while we run through a meadow? You wanna taste sweet nectar? I do. I was born to run. We can go now if you'd like. Now sounds nice. Dontcha think? I like now. Let's run now? Don't turn around or everything will catch up. Stop! Don't look back. Look ahead. Keep moving we're getting there. We'll be there. Can I promise? No. But I can promise we won't be here. Give it time. Are you ready? Let's go. Now.

You wanna stop running? Are you saying this was all for nothing? Are you saying we made it this far just so you can leave? Didn't you make a promise? You broke it? Of course. Why did i trust you? Why do i trust anyone? I was born to run. We're not the same anymore, huh? We changed, huh? We don't like to admit it, huh? I know. Did we think it would last forever? You can't run forever. You've got too much to hold on to. I can go. I'm going. I'm like the Energizer Bunny. Still going.

You want me to stop running? No. I was born to run. People like me are made to keep going. I'm not stopping. You made your choice. You stopped running. I'm still running. I'm still going to run until I've found my finish line. I'm in too deep to turn back. You pickin' up what I'm putting down? I left you where you wanted to stop. That was your finish line. It wasn't mine. It won't be mine. Unless you make some promises. Even then, I can't trust you. So what do I do? For now, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. So, I guess I'll just keep running.
