Years ago, I knew that I wasn't opened up,
I heard 'em all, talk about how this world was tough,
I met a man, who told me how he lived it up,
He had a plan, to make the most and do what he loved.

Don't let it pass you by,
Live your life enjoy the ride,
How long you been taught to take your time,
But you know things'll always be the same,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running.

Wasn't hard, to understand where he was comin' from,
Never disregard, all the time you have while you're young,
He spoke about, the time he was broke and fallin' into love,
But never doubt, that he would still joke and have his fun.

Don't let it pass you by,
Live your life enjoy the ride,
How long you been taught to take your time,
But you know things'll always be the same,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running.

Don't let it pass you by,
Live your life enjoy the ride,
How long you been taught to take your time,
But you know things'll always be the same,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running,
You'll be better off running,
(Keep running, keep running, keep running),
You'll be better off running,
(Keep running, keep running, keep running),
You'll be better off running.
