We Keep Running Through the Dark (versione 2)

Intro

(Runway lights flicker overhead, nothing but road ahead)

Hold your breath

Verse

Dusty gas station sign still glowing red

Four hours past my bedtime and I'm not even tired instead

You said we'd chase the dawn across these county lines

I said you know me well enough to count on this time

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear that? It's what I'm listening for now

A highway that stretches out and swallows all the rest

Chorus

We keep running through the dark

Every mile feels like its own little spark

You turn up loud against the rearview glass

Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas

Verse 2

Old-fashioned diner serving coffee and a prayer

The waitress knows our names but not where we go from here

I watch the sun come up across the fields of wheat

We've got an hour left to drive before we have a seat

Pre-Chorus

(Engine purrs like it's still asleep, waiting for us to decide)

Can you feel that? It's pulling us apart and back inside

One more mile down this road before we settle in for real

Chorus

We keep running through the dark

Every mile feels like its own little spark

You turn up loud against the rearview glass

Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas

Bridge

Maybe it's not a journey at all — maybe it's just us

Two cars full of fire and nobody to catch us first

We keep running till we turn into dawn

Chorus

We keep running through the dark

Every mile feels like its own little spark

You turn up loud against the rearview glass

Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas
