I'm tired of looking over my shoulder
Tonight, I don't feel alright on the inside
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
It's like I'm runnin' from an avalanche
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Hey
