Learn more about this song

It's dark and cold, but it's okay;
You know you'll soon be on your way.
You have no cash, no solid plan
But the girl said, "Come," and so you ran.
Trapped in the mire of the growing pain inside,
It spreads like wild fire,
And there's no way you can hide.
You think you're so smart;
You've shut down your heart.

Chorus:
Run, baby, run.
You think you're gonna have a lot of fun.
Run, baby, run,
But you know when the day is done
You'll find you haven't even begun
To live, or to give, to see or to be.
You can run but you can't hide
From the way you feel inside.

You think you've got it all worked out;
The whole world's on the other side.
You're just trying to coast and get on by.
You're just a passenger on the ride.
Well, you are dreaming in your fantasy land,
And your soul's screaming,
As you trample it in the sand.
Open your eyes;
You're not so wise. (Chorus)

So, now as you sit in your cell,
Do you really think it went all that well?
Your adventure's through; it had to end.
Now, do you feel you're on the mend?
Do you feel stronger since you left us all behind?
If you'd gone longer,
Do you think that peace you'd find?
This is what is true;
It's all up to you!

Run, baby, run.
You think you're gonna have so much fun.
Run, baby, run,
But you know when the day is done,
You'll find you haven't even begun
To live, or to give, to see or to be.
You can run, but you can't hide
From the way you feel inside.
