lyrics

I spend my days buying gifts and things I'll never need
And now there's hundreds of presents under the Christmas tree
I'm seeing smiling faces everywhere I go
Except when the lines are slow

I'm seeing thousands of faces laughing everywhere
But those millions of people are always in our hair
I've grown weary and tired of pro-activity
But what does it mean for me

I'm just run run running around my head
I've got a million things going I wish that I weren't dead
To feel these things I'd like to know
I'm just run run running around my brain
I've got a million things going I'm going insane
I need to feel these things I'll never know
If I don't slow

I've got too many things and not enough time
I've written too many words and not enough rhyme
Too many hills to climb
Too many shoes to shine

I'm just run run running around my head
I've got a million things going I wish that I weren't dead
To feel these things I'd like to know
I'm just run run running around my brain
I've got a million things going I'm going insane
I need to feel these things I'll never know

Is it worth my time
How does it rhyme
What's it mean to me
Am I a slave or free
These are things I feel I'd like to know

I'm just run run running around my head
I've got a million things going I wish that I weren't dead
To feel these things I'd like to know
I'm just run run running around my brain
I've got a million things going I'm going insane
I need to feel these things I'll never know
If I don't slow
