Broken again, I’m down on my knees ripped apart
But I see you out there, so I’m taking these chains off my heart
I’m listening close for ya, feeling my way out the dark
I’m on my way to ya and won’t nothing keep me from ya
So I’ll just free run
‘Til my feet start to lift off the ground
I will just free run
‘Til I find myself right where you are
Oh-oh-whoa-oh (Oh)
I’ll free run to ya
(Whoa-oh-oh)
I’ll free run to ya
Life with you leaving is like being locked upside down
I’m all out of reasons to let all this hurt keep me bound
I’ll listen close for ya, I don’t want to miss the good part
I’m on my way to ya and won’t nothing keep me from ya
So I’ll just free run (Free run)
‘Til my feet start to lift off the ground
I will just free run
‘Til I find myself right where you are
Oh-oh-whoa-oh (Oh)
‘Cause I’ll free run to ya
(Whoa) Oh-oh-oh-whoa
I’ll free run to ya
Oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa
Yeah, free run
Free run (Whoa)
‘Til my feet start to lift off the ground
Free run (Oh-oh)
And ’til I find myself right by your side, I gotta keep free running
Free run (Free, free)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Free run (Oh, whoa)
Yeah
Free run, oh-oh
Free run
