A Million Ways To Run Lyrics

In the basement of the church.
I took the last chair in the room
Embarrassed and 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 hiding from the pain, in any place
To make it go away.

In the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger,
Or staring' down the barrel of a gun
At the bottom of a bottle,
Getting numb with every 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
Cause I'd lived everything she said
I thought about lost moments of my past
And then I knew, there was no going back

To the arms of a stranger
Keeping company with danger
Or staring' down the barrel of a gun
The bottom of a bottle,
Getting numb with every swallow
Cause 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 staying 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
