Run for cover!
I need somewhere to hide.
I need a big, strong man here
By my side.
I need a place to breathe.
I need to build myself a wall and pretend
I never really cared at all---
Never cared at all.
Need to find somewhere.
I need a place in the sun.
Need a big, shade tree.
I need a road to run.
I need a place to breathe.
I need to build myself a wall and believe
That I never cared at all.
( Chorus )
Need to find someone loving
And stop breaking my heart.
Need a good friend to keep
From really falling apart.
Need to remember sunshine
Happens somewhere every day---
And find a wind to blow these cares away.
( Chorus )
Need to find somewhere!
I need to recoup my speed.
Need to find some strength.
I need some time to bleed.
I need to spring right back.
I need to build myself a wall and pretend
That I never hurt at all.
( Chorus )
Never cared at all...
Never cared at all...
Never cared at all...
No, never really cared at all
