This is the closing track of the album and is dreamy and sad, the persona talking about the life they can't have for whatever reason, a great way to end the album I think.

Why Can't I Just Run Away Tonight

(slow, guitar quiet intro)

I like to stay awake
Deep into the night
Sit infront of light
look at things that I can't have

I like to think and make
A life that I can't have
I think
I wish,
I think
I wish for you!

(guitar filler, stronger now)

Whoa-oooaaah-whooaaa
Why
Can't
I just be who I want to
Why
can't
I just be who I need to
Why
Can't
I just run away tonight...

(guitar filler, then drums)

I sit, talk to the light
Tells me I have
everything except
Exactly what I want

Oh man, please help
I can't help giving in
I'll put up with this for far too long
I cannot have a single thing

(guitar filler, stronger now)

Whoa-oooaaah-whooaaa
Why
Can't
I just be who I think I should be
Why
Won't
I just seize the opportunity
Why
Can't
I just run away tonight...

(guitar filler, then drums)

(angry guitars and vocals)

I see, watch everything around me
Take it in, try to keep in
My frustration
My elation
At everyone else for just
Not even looking at me

I listen, watch the others glisten
As they do the things they do
I try to copy them
Emulate them
Be like them

(guitars filter down)

I try, try so fucking hard
Just another waste of time
Just another wasted life
I wish
I could be like them
Like everyone else

What the hell is wrong with me?

(quick build up, drums)

(loud, angry solo)

(angry shouts too)

(build up)

Whoa-oooaaah-whooaaa
Why
Can't
I just be who the hell
they all want me to be
Why
Won't
I just take my chance
run away
Today
Learn my lesson
seize the opportunity
Why
Can't
I just run away tonight!

(slowly increase angry guitars through this)

Out into the dark
Run away tonight
Never see the light
Never feel the pain again
Never feel pain again
(not gonna happen)
Never feel pain again
(never gonna happen)
Never feel any pain again
No way, not gonna happen...

(drag out vocal into echoes)

(end)
