Sometimes when I 00:13
Wanna run away and hide 00:19
When there's no one on my side 00:23
And all my pride had disappeared 00:27
I take it off my mind 00:33
And leave it all behind 00:38
Nothin' left to do but 00:43
Try to take the leap and follow through 00:45
And that's exactly what I'll do 00:52
I know to you I don't seem very strong 00:55
But, I assure you, before you can find me, I'm gone 00:58
So come on and catch me, you've still got a chance 01:01
01:06
But not for long 01:15
I'll be rollin' place to place 01:17
Won't stop till I win the race 01:19
Although I may have crossed the line 01:21
No time to waste on you 01:24
I don't plan on slowing down 01:26
No I'll keep on going 01:28
Even if you think I'm in the wrong 01:30
01:33
Just know that 01:34
Although I may not think everything through 01:35
I don't take back what I say or regret what I do 01:37
I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan 01:39
But if you leave it to me, I'll do whatever I can 'cause 01:41
I know that's what I'm here for 01:44
I don't wanna wait around anymore 01:46
Even if you can't see 01:49
The good inside me 01:51
I don't have the time to tell you 01:52
Why I do the things that I do 01:55
Just please hold on and soon you'll see 01:57
That I'm not the villain I appear to be 02:01
02:07
Movin' along, no I won't settle down 02:23
Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town 02:25
So you can keep on a-runnin' around and around 02:27
But you will never quite catch up to me! 02:29
02:34
And I know you think I'm crazy 02:40
But I hope that maybe 02:43
Now you'll see why 02:45
I had to try! 02:49

Lyrics:

[English]

Sometimes when I

Wanna run away and hide

When there's no one on my side

And all my pride had disappeared

I take it off my mind

And leave it all behind

Nothin' left to do but

Try to take the leap and follow through

And that's exactly what I'll do

I know to you I don't seem very strong

But, I assure you, before you can find me, I'm gone

So come on and catch me, you've still got a chance

...

But not for long

I'll be rollin' place to place

Won't stop till I win the race

Although I may have crossed the line

No time to waste on you

I don't plan on slowing down

No I'll keep on going

Even if you think I'm in the wrong

...

Just know that

Although I may not think everything through

I don't take back what I say or regret what I do

I know that some stay in line and they stick to the plan

But if you leave it to me, I'll do whatever I can 'cause

I know that's what I'm here for

I don't wanna wait around anymore

Even if you can't see

The good inside me

I don't have the time to tell you

Why I do the things that I do

Just please hold on and soon you'll see

That I'm not the villain I appear to be

...

Movin' along, no I won't settle down

Until I'm locked behind bars or I'm kicked outta town

So you can keep on a-runnin' around and around

But you will never quite catch up to me!

...

And I know you think I'm crazy

But I hope that maybe

Now you'll see why

I had to try!
