Perpetuate
- Laura Knowles

Here am I sitting here trying to write a song
But everything that I write down always turns out wrong

Where are you, in the clouds escaping from my grasp?
I try to run, I try to hide, but I am just not fast

Enough to run away to be free from pain
And the pouring rain
And all the things I say
Everything I've said and the places I've been
And the things I've seen
Have all gone straight to my head

When can we disappear off into the sunset?
With no cares and no woes
And nothing to regret

Where was I when you were gone from my past?
And where were you when I was there
Trying to be fast

Enough to run away to be free from pain
And the pouring rain
And all the things I say
Everything I've said and the places I've been
And the things I've seen
Have all gone straight to my head

There was I sitting there trying to write a song
It went quite well
I think it'll sell
Or maybe I'm just wrong
