Lyrics
Verse one)
As sure as the floor 'neath my toes
And somehow not surprised
That I was superimposed
Somehow in this life
And if my friends and my foes
Would just drop me a line
That'd be nice

(Verse two)
You see love is a drink
That goes straight to my head
And time is a lover
And I'm caught in her stead
And the sentiment there
Follows me straight to my bed
Through the night

(Chorus)
I've got my life in a suitcase
I'm ready to run run run away
I've got no time          
Cause I'm always
Trying to run run run away
Cause everyday in here feels like it's only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase
A suitcase, A suitcase,
A suitcase

(Verse three)
What could be an anchor here
With a storm on the rise
When you're never meant to see so clear
When smoke gets in your eyes
And the man in the moon never makes his replies understood

(Chorus)
I've got my life in a suitcase
I'm ready to run run run away
I've got no time
Cause I'm always
Trying to run run run away
Cause everyday in here feels like it's only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase
A suitcase, A suitcase,
A suitcase, A suitcase, A suitcase,
A suitcase, A suitcase, A suitcase,
A suitcase, A suitcase

(Bridge)
For a moment I was warm and the world made sense
Ah, ah, ah, ah...
For a moment here this storm had no consequence
Ah, ah, ah, ah...

(Chorus)
I've got my life in a suitcase
I'm ready to run run run away.
I've got no time
Cause I'm always
Trying to run run run away.
Cause everyday in here feels like it's only a game
I've got my life in a suitcase
