VERSE 1:
I’ve been running so long, feels like I’m going nowhere
And I don’t know what from, but the happy days are so rare
Every step that I take feels like pumping the brakes
Like I’m trapped in a cage, banished for my mistakes
Where did I go wrong?
I just know I don’t belong here

PRE-CHORUS:
I’m running in place
Running in place
I'm running in place
Instead of running the race
Running in place
Running in place
I'm running in place
Instead of running the race
(Oooh)
Somebody get me off the treadmill
(Oooh)
Somebody get me off the treadmill

CHORUS:
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
VERSE 2:
Feels like a standstill, but I’m staying in motion
Like a hamster on a wheel, never showing emotion
Thought it’s what I wanted, my only devotion
Now I’m stuck in a cycle, waiting for an omen
My feet are swollen, but my will won’t be broken
My heart rate out of control, but my eyes open
Take a moment, take a breath, adjust the speed settings
And give this bitch another run until I reap blessings

PRE-CHORUS:
I’m running in place
Running in place
I'm running in place
Instead of running the race
Running in place
Running in place
I'm running in place
Instead of running the race
(Oooh)
Somebody get me off the treadmill
(Oooh)
Somebody get me off the treadmill

CHORUS:
I wanna run away
I wanna run away

BRIDGE:
I’ve been running so long, so long
I’ve been running so long, so long

CHORUS:
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna run away (So come and get me off the treadmill)
I wanna run away (So come and get me off the treadmill)
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
