I can't run, can't turn away now (x4) 
It's all the same, nothing ever changes 
the long days, the ten cent raises 
 
A few bucks in my pocket's gotta go a long way 
22, got my whole life ahead of me 
but still, lettin' life get the best of me 
Gotta stop, and just leave it up to destiny now 
I don't know how much more of this I can handle 
But I know that good things come to those who wait 
I can't run, can't turn away now (x4) 
Four years, I've been out of high school 
forget college, thinking I was so cool 
But no regrets, gotta do what you gotta do 
My heart, it's in love with the rock 'n' roll 
and playing music is all that I really know 
You know love, it's the only thing you can't control 
I don't know how much more of this I can handle 
But I know that good things come to those who wait 
I can't run, can't turn away now (x4) 
Can't stop believing 
no matter how long it takes 
It might kill me to keep on dreaming 
but I'd rather die than throw it away 
I don't know how much more of this I can handle 
But I know that good things come to those who wait 
And better things will come to those who don't give up 
So mine should be coming any day 
I can't run, can't turn away now (x4) 
can't turn away now (x3)
