I'm running away
   I've got to get home
   I'm lost in a crowd
   But I'm still on my own
   I'm looking ahead
   So I'm staying behind
   I'm not being cruel
   I'm just being kind
   I close my eyes
   It's no surprise
   I'm always there
   Can't count the times
   I've tried to hide
   And found nowhere
  
   I'm trying to lay low
   But I keep getting high
   My feet on the ground
   Got my head in the sky
   My eye on the future
   That's stuck in the past
   I find I can't lose
   When I aim to come last
  
   I realise
   It's no surprise
   That nothing's clear
   That black is white
   That day is night
   And there is here
  
   I'm right on the ball
   But I'm missing the mark
   I burn in the sun
   I'm scared of the dark
   Got an ivory tower
   With a bird's eye view
   Got plenty of time
   But nothing to do
  
   The best disguise
   It's no surprise
   Is disappear
   Can't count the times
   I've tried to hide
   And found nowhere
  
   I'm running away
   I've got to get home
   I'm lost in a crowd
   But I'm still on my own
   I'm looking ahead
   So I'm staying behind
   I'm not being cruel
   I'm just being kind
  
   I realise
   It's on surprise
   That nothing's clear
   That black is white
   That day is night
   And there is here
  
   The best disguise
   It's no surprise
   Is disappear
   Can't count the times
   I've tried to hide
   And found nowhere
  
   I close my eyes
   It's no surprise
   I'm always there
   Can't count the times
   I've tried to hide
   And found nowhere
  
   I realise
   It's no surprise
   That nothing's clear
   That black is white
   That day is night
   And there is here
  
   The best disguise
   It's no surprise
   Is disappear
   Can't count the times
   I've tried to hide
   And found nowhere
