Runway Hearts Never Sleep

Verse

Duffel bag zipper, the porch light behind

Engine still cold but I already made up my mind

Every window in this town looks the same shade of gray

I got a quarter tank of hope and a map that's fading away

Chorus

Runway hearts never sleep, never stop, never slow

We were built for the leaving, born to go, go, go

Headlights cutting the dark like a runway in the trees

Runway hearts never sleep, so don't you follow me down easy

Verse

Radio static, a highway sign torn in half

Counting the mile markers like a promise or a laugh

Left my old name folded up in the glovebox with the rain

Got nothing but a tank of nerve and a lightning-colored lane

Chorus

Runway hearts never sleep, never stop, never slow

We were built for the leaving, born to go, go, go

Headlights cutting the dark like a runway in the trees

Runway hearts never sleep, so don't you follow me down easy

Bridge

Maybe I'm not running from something

Maybe I'm running toward

Every town's a runway lighting up

Every road's an open door

So scream it till your voice gives out

Scream it till the dashboard shakes

We were never meant for standing still

We were built for open gates

Chorus

Runway hearts never sleep, never stop, never slow

We were built for the leaving, born to go, go, go

Headlights cutting the dark like a runway in the trees

Runway hearts never sleep

Runway hearts never sleep, don't you follow me down easy

Never sleep, never sleep, we're already gone
