Answer 1

It is called Run Around it is by Blues Traveler

Once upon a midnight drearyI woke with something in my
headI couldn't escape the memoryOf a phone call
and of what you saidLike a game show contestant with a
parting giftI could not believe my eyesWhen I saw
through the voice of a trusted friendWho needs to humor me
and tell me liesYeah humor me and tell me liesAnd
I'll lie too and say I don't mindAnd as we seek
so shall we findAnd when you're feeling open
I'll still be hereBut not without a certain degree of
fearOf what will be with you and meI still can see
things hopefullyBut youWhy you wanna give me a
run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me downAnd shake me and
my confidenceAbout a great many thingsBut I've
been there I can see it cowerLike a nervous magician
waiting in the wingsOf a bad play where the heroes are
rightAnd nobody thinks or expects too muchAnd
Hollywood's calling for the movie rightsSinging hey
babe let's keep in touchHey baby let's keep in
touchBut I want more than a touch I want you to reach
meAnd show me all the things no one else can seeSo
what you feel becomes mine as wellAnd soon if we're
lucky we'd be unable to tellWhat's yours and
mine the fishing's fineAnd it doesn't have to
rhyme so don't you feed me a lineBut youWhy you wanna give me a run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way
to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me downTra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speakingAnd I've got some news for youIt seems my ship
still stands no matter what you dropAnd there ain't a
whole lot that you can doOh sure the banner may be torn
and the wind's gotten colderPerhaps I've grown a
little cynicalBut I know no matter what the waitress
bringsI shall drink it and always be fullYeah, i
will drink it and always be fullOh I like coffeeAnd I like teaI'd like to be able to enter a final
pleaI still got this dream that you just can't
shakeI love you to the point you can no longer takeWell all right okaySo be that wayI hope and
prayThat there's something left to sayBut
youWhy you wanna give me a run-aroundIs it a
sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow
me downBut youWhy you wanna give me a
run-aroundIs it a sure-fire way to speed things upWhen all it does is slow me down
