Derek Webb Eye Of The Hurricane Lyrics

I knew everything I needed on the day I set my suitcase down
But it came so easy, oh, you know I had to wander around
Man, the time sure flies when you don't know where you are on the map
Then one day you wake up thinking this might be your final lap
But if you're the only one who runs a race
Then it might be a getaway

Cause I am the man from which I am running
So even if I wanted to, I can't escape
This is the man that I am becoming
Running in the eye of the hurricane

I loved every single circle that I ran around my Father's house
Even prodigals have a good time till the money runs out
Oh I always had a choice, I always knew where I was from
But there's a time to stop running and I'm pretty sure that time has come Cause now I need a home-cooked meal and a bed
I need a place to lay my head

Cause I am the man from which I am running
So even if I wanted to, I can't escape
This is the man that I am becoming
Running in the eye of the hurricane

If I run too far ahead
If I fall too far behind
If I lose my way
I depend on the wind
To come and to blow my mind
And my house away
'Til I have no choice but to obey

Cause I am the man from which I am running
So even if I wanted to, I can't escape
This is the man that I am becoming
Running in the eye of the hurricane
Running in the eye of the hurricane
Running in the eye of the hurricane
