Front Porch Step - Quick To Run Lyrics
I'm not afraid of the dark anymore
I'm just afraid that I won't find the light
I'd kill myself if you promised me heaven
Cause I'm just too tired to put up a fight
I heard your words when I was just a boy
When I'm on my knees out in front of your gates
Then I won't make excuses when that gate is closed
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
I'm so sick of laying here on my own
I wish you'd carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
I used to smile so much
But then I blocked out your son
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
I'm always quick to run
I'm gonna die in this ocean alone
I lay on my back and I pray that I float
I thought that I had the world on a string
But now the whole world wants me hung from a rope
I know I don't deserve you but I can't do this alone
I'm so sick of laying here on my own
I wish you'd carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hate to say this wretched man
That you have made to look like you
Don't look a damn thing like you now
I used to smile so much
But then I blocked out your son
I'm just another man that's broken his own heart
It's no wonder that I'm always quick to run
I'm always quick to run
You pumped the blood into my heart
I poured out poison from my lips
I'm broken down in front of you
I've come to break like porcelain
I hate the bastard I became
Far from the man that I've become
You should have left me long ago
I wish that I had never run
I wish you'd carry me home
Take me away from this house
I hope and pray that every day
This wretched man that you have saved
Could start to look like you somehow

Front Porch Step Quick To Run Comments
Thank you so much for this. I can tell God has had a part in your life and this song really helped give me hope and reassurance that he is in mine as well. I have done my fair share of stupid things and it is helpful to know I'm not the only one trying to outrun their demons.
Makes me cry every time I listen to this song. It means so much.
Love your music, both your style before and now. You have a song for every emotion, and that isnt something you can say about alot of artists and musicians. Thank you for the words you write and the vocal perfection that you present them in.
your music has gotten me through times i never thought id make it through. i genuinely thank you for your music.
FUCK
I MISSED YOU JAKE!!!!!
DAMNIT I LOVE YOU MAN
I just found this song and it is now my favorite song. I want to thank you for creating music. Everytime something big in my life happened from: getting cheated, depression, thoughts of suicide your music has always been there right when i needed it. I know that there is someone who feels almost the same things as I do and the beautiful thing is that you came back from it. It shows me that I can too. Thank you for always being there when you don't even know it. Crazy how God's plans work.
I'm not Christian but your music really hits me, it's inspiring to see someone so passionate about something.
wow... just wow... this is the most raw Song written
Your music means so much to me, It's so relatable. I honestly see my self in every verse. Thank you for this
59 humans disliking this video are not actually humans.
Cried throughout the entire song... it's so sad to know how much bullshit he's been put through... Jake your music didn't "save my life" but it sure as hell has helped me remember that I'm not alone and it's helped me get through so much shit.. and I hope you know that your true fans are always gonna be here for you... I truly admire you.
A friend of mine showed me island of a misfit boy and since then i have just fallen in love with all your music. Thank you
"I used to smile so much"
right in the feels
This reminds me of my step brother who died several months ago from a drug overdose. My prayer is that he's with Jesus now in heaven.
... you honestly helped me, I just recently got out of s 3 year relationship. I thought everything was great , I thought we were fine, I honestly thought we were happy...
Definitely my new favorite song. 💕
Now, I'm not a believer, but your music really does speak to me of what it's like to have a pure faith in something. It's so wonderful <3
One of the best artists to listen to to feel like other people can relate to you, you're perfect example of getting through life and over the things that happen
I love how when some someone makes a mistake they crave forgiveness, but when an artist/celebrity does the same they are just shamed for it, for being human, it's illogical and dumb and never let that hold you back Jake because one logical clear fact is that you make fantastic music, the production on the whole album is great, AS ALWAYS the lyrics are on point, I use to check the frontporchstep Facebook page every week waiting for music and then I gave up on the idea but thank you so much for this record man, keep making music that people can deeply relate to! :)
So insanely happy you started making music again. It reminds me of when I used to binge listen to whole again. You've gotten me through so much and there's no way to explain how much this song means
Regardless of anything that happened in the past
This album is fucking powerful
stay strong.
I'm gonna be so proud to say this was my music growing up in 2020 and beyond 😁 keep it up guys!
I have no words for how this song makes me feel. Why do I always run from God when I know my life will be bettered with him in it. I want so badly to not be so on and off with my relationship with God. I want to read my bible and pray and talk to HIM and worship so freely at church but something always holds me back
Walking through the rain listening to this is one of the best things I've done in a while. Thank you
Your songs hit close to home. Keep it up. Everyone fucks up in life but learning from it and trying to make amends is more than anything and its so rare. Just keep doing what you love
I never heard it but ,I feel the same way a lot . we are not alone he is with us.
this is so amazing!!! fits me perfectly the best part of the lord and Jesus they / he forgives you no matter what!! he'll always be here
You have my support man.
I am sinner.
Seriously had chills the whole song.
This is what music that is real shit sounds like, your songs are incredible and you're helping me through some hard shit, I needed this right now
this song hits me like a sack of bricks every time I listen to it. God is and should be everyone's #1. it sucks it took me so long to realize that.
Praise God for his work in your life!!! I love you brother!!! Keep fighting the good fight!!!
This song is very well written and sung. Good job!!
the description has me crying. i love this song. i listened the first time and said it sounds like a worship song and then i read what its about. i love you. i love every single song youve put out and i love that you saved my life. my lowest points were comforted by your voice and your words.
please keep making songs. your are the reason I still believe in new music!
wow this song is just wow
it's so good. I like their acoustics better but this is good
Your music means so much to me, thank you for this.
I needed this. You are honestly one of my favorite song writers, and I'm so happy that you wrote these masterpieces. Thank you.
This song honestly had me close to tears when i first heard it, I can relate to it too well.
We all have our flaws, and there's nothing we can do about that. We must learn to love one another for ourselves with God's guidance. If people want to bash on you for your past then let them. Like you said as long as this reaches one person you did the right thing. I'm proud of you for making this change. Keep it up :)
This is absolutely beautiful. Super proud of you, Jake!
This is amazing. Thank you for making such honest and beautiful music, just wanted to let you know that you have people who relate to you and appreciate this.
omg i lovee thiss.. Beautiful
OMFG this song is so badass and relaxing :)
Diggin' that Mobb Deep hoodie at 0:57 man.
Most importantly dude, this whole album is amazing!!! Super relatable, and I love how real your music is. Each song is similar, but different. Keep it up!
This song and album is beautifully passionate and powerfully soulful. It gives me chills. I personally feel and hear the faith you've come to find, behind every lyric and in every expression of depth you portray.
And hey, we are ALL in this life together. Every single one of us are so imperfect and in need of more than this broken life can ever offer or give to us. In my own experiences and from what what I've come to see so brilliantly, is that God is love. Pure love. He is forgiveness. He is mercy. He is kind. He is just. And he will never leave our sides, no matter what we've done.
Keep making lovely music, it truly does reach more hearts than sometimes is merely seen.
And remember when most around you seem so cruel and unforgiving.. how their hate doesn't even come close to how much love and how much you are worth in God's eyes.
<3
Cassie Fulford :') AMEN
Beautiful
This song really hits home, keep up it up jake! Forget all the other bullshit just keep making music and doing you for the people who do care about you
