On a rising tide
rollercoaster ride
as the trip descends
you chose not to ride again

and so you run,
what you holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on, all around you
run
what you holding on, holding on to

used to love to dance
loved to take a chance
but something turned inside
and the dreams they got left behind

and so you run
what you holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on, all around you
run
what you holding on, holding on to
run
look what's going on, all around you

don't want to have to make a change
wouldn't want to exaggerate the pain
go running back to the old ways

and so you run
whatcha holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on, all around you
run
what you holding on, holding onto
run
look what's going on, all around you
run
what you holding on, holding onto
run
life is going on all around you
