Running Lyrics by FRED

2008

[Verse 1]
If I was running you should know that I was running from a hurricane system
If I was running you should know that I stood my ground a thousand times
If I seemed bothered well I think you would feel similar
If they painted your whole house red with your blood
So I stung 'cause I tired of all the beatings
And I sung, yeah I sung for the quiet man
Oh I didn't mean it
I didn't mean you no harm

[Chorus]
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
From underneath this oversight
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
From underneath this oversight
It takes too much to get it right
(I know I'm going to change my mind}
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
(I know I'm going to change my mind}
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right

[Verse 2]
If I had troubled you with questions and questions well I knew nothing
If I seemed different hey I never knew and never learned the ways of many men
I went underground as the wagons circled in on me
And the walls of this old town were tumbling down
I was done, I was spent all bar the shouting
But there were murmurs down below
Oh I couldn't quell them
I couldn't quell them at all

[Chorus]
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
From underneath this oversight
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
From underneath this oversight
It takes too much to get it right
(I know I'm going to change my mind}
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
(I know I'm going to change my mind}
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
It takes too much to get it right
