Verse 1

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize

Motivate your anger to make them all happy

Giving hurts such a lot, so you don't wanna try

Run against the wind, up to the top of the hill

Verse 2

Something's getting closer, close enough to see

I don't know the reason why you keep on runnin'

Don't try so hard to remember where it was

Don't try so hard to remember who you were

You're not the only one who's runnin'

Don't be afraid to call my name

You're not the only one who's runnin'

Don't be afraid to call my name
