Front Porch Step – Quick To Run lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m not afraid of the dark anymore
I’m just afraid that I won’t find the light
I’d kill myself if you promised me heaven
Because I’m just too tired to put up a fight
I heard your words when I was just a boy
So there's no excuse for the path that I chose
So when I’m on my knees out in front of your gates
Then I won’t make excuses when that gate is closed

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I don’t deserve you
But I can’t do this alone
I’m so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]
I wish you’d carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
Don’t look a damn thing like you now
I used to smile so much
But then I blocked out your son
I’m just another man that’s broken his own heart
It’s no wonder that I’m always quick to run
I’m always quick to run

[Verse 2]
I’m gonna die in this ocean alone
I lay on my back and I pray that I float
I thought that I had the world on a string
But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I don’t deserve you
But I can’t do this alone
I’m so sick of laying here on my own

[Chorus]
I wish you’d carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
Don’t look a damn thing like you now
I used to smile so much
But then I blocked out your son
I’m just another man that’s broken his own heart
It’s no wonder that I’m always quick to run
I’m always quick to run

[Bridge]
You pumped the blood into my heart
I poured out poison from my lips
I’m broken down in front of you
I’ve come to break like porcelain
I hate the bastard I became
Far from the man that I’ve become
You should have left me long ago
I wish that I had never run

[Outro]
I wish you’d carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hope and pray that every day
This wretched man that you have saved
Could start to look like you somehow
