  • I'm on the run for my life
    It's seems that everything that you said was right
    Has come undone, lost my sight
    But have you ever thought you've done your best

    When you were under the gun, that's right
    I know, I've seen this place before
    But it's never been so fun
    Never been so fun

    I've been on the run, this shadow weighs a ton
    It's starting to make sense to me
    I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me, no, no

    I've been on the run, my shadow weighs a ton
    I know I found the recipe for me
    But I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me, no, no

    You know I'm haunted on overseas
    Haunted on each coast
    Play them like Ebaneeza
    I made them see the ghost
    Back from the future donned in Japanese kimonos
    Even though the streets show love, try to see me grow
    I often see me floatin', but my shadow it weighs a ton
    Call it baggage, I use it all to advantage
    I can't make you love me
    This time it's on you
    And you can't try to deny, these words when they're true
    I'm on the run

    I've been on the run, this shadow weighs a ton
    It's starting to make sense to me
    I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me, no, no

    I've been on the run, my shadow weighs a ton
    I know I found the recipe for me
    But I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me

    Ay yo, then get to steppin'
    Your tongue is like a weapon
    This is Kevin from heaven and yet so are ye's
    Since the age of seventeen
    I've been taking apart microphones
    You've been taking apart men you've blown
    With glowing skeleton bones
    In the closet, animals strike curious poses
    They feel the heat between us
    But you need a woman's glorious style on diamond to fetus
    Carry my penis, I'm like the man in the moon
    When we kissed then you soon on the run

    I've been on the run, this shadow weighs a ton
    It's starting to make sense to me
    I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me, no, no

    I've been on the run, my shadow weighs a ton
    I know I found the recipe for me
    But I can't really make you love me
    No, no, you know I can't really make you love me, no, no

    I can't really make you love me
    I can't really make you love me
    I can't really make you love me
    I can't really make you love me Writer/s: Al Jolson, Alex Greenwald, B.g. Desylva, Jason Schwartzman, Joseph Meyer, Karl Amani Wailoo, Kevin Deron Brereton, Ritchie Acheampong
