Grabs his coat and with his shoulder says goodbye.
You couldn't follow him now girl if you tried.

'Cause he'll keep runnin'
Aimin' at nothin'
'Til he swallows this world up whole.
Can't help but love him
And hope that there's somethin'
He needs on the road that leads back home.

His heart's been achin' for a change that takes some time.
He's never been one to feel satisfied.

'Cause he'll keep runnin'
Aimin' at nothin'
'Til he swallows this world up whole.
Can't help but love him
And hope that there's somethin'
He needs on the road that leads back home.

You would give this boy two hearts
If you thought that's what he wanted.
But with the way things are
He's got to go.

You would give this boy your all
If you knew that's what he needed.
But with the way things are
Let him go.

You know why you chose a soul that reaches far.
You know to make him stay would break your heart.

'Cause he'll keep runnin'
Aimin' at nothin'
'Til he swallows this world up whole.
Can't help but love him
And hope that there's somethin'
He needs on the road that leads back home.

'Cause he'll keep runnin'
Aimin' at nothin'
'Til he swallows this world up whole.
Can't help but love him
And hate that there's nothin'
He needs on the road that leads back home.
