Outrun Heartbreak from Waves by Cold Snake

You can't outrun heartbreak
it will catch up to you
this country has some fine fast highways
but love has its ways too.

The milky waters of Lake Ontario ripple our from Rochester to Canada
and you're a long long way girl from where you started out on Monday
but you can see his face plain as dawn, clear as glass, close as though its painted on.
And you can hear his voice soft and low, speaking just as though you never parted.
And you knew this all before you started but you had to

try to outrun heartbreak
and it's caught up to you
you took off on a fine fast highway
and now you're feeling
now you're feeling
now you're feeling
now you're feeling

Put up your hands, put up your hands
Put up your hands, put up your hands
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms
Lay down your arms, lay down your arms.

Cause you can't outrun heartbreak
it will catch up to you
this country has some fine fast highways
but love has its ways.
