I’ve been known to run in circles
Whichever way the wind blows
Like something from a bad dream
Where someones climbing through your window

I was standing out on first street
Hoping I could come clean
So I called you from a payphone
‘cause ain’t nobody want to be alone

But what if I fall behind?
What if I lose my way?
Will you see the stutter in my step
The lines in my face
Or the strain in my voice
I’m always running from my shadow
And the thing I don’t know
Like I’m waiting on the rain

When I was just a young boy
Before my mom became a widow
My father told a story
I still here in my pillow
It’s something about a circus
And wherever life will take us
Oh the road don’t get clearer
If you’re stuck looking in the mirror

But what if I fall behind?
What if I lose my way?
Will you see the stutter in my step
The lines in my face
Or the strain in my voice
I’m always running from my shadow
And the thing I don’t know
Like I’m waiting on the rain
