Million Ways To Run

In the basement of the church
I took the last chair in the room
And there I stand ashamed
But that all began to change
When she stood up and spoke her truth

She said I came here years ago
When I lost my sanity
I hit an all-time low
But then I found serenity

I took shelter hidin from the pain
In any place to make it go away
In the arms of a stranger
Keepin company with danger
Or starin down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle
Gettin numb with ever swallow
It’s easy when it’s what you’ve always done
With a million ways to run

I was the first one out the door
But her words echoed in my head
I took the long way home
But no longer felt alone
Cuz I’d lived everything she’d said

I thought about lost moments of my past
And then I knew there was no goin back
To the arms of a stranger
Keepin company with danger
Or starin down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle
Gettin numb with ever swallow
Cuz it’s easy when it’s what you’ve always done
With a million ways to run

There’s a freedom I have found
In stayin on the ground
Long enough to chase those demons down
And I thank God I know I’m not the only one
With a million ways to run
