Run Like Hell Is Leaving (Version 2)

Verse

Grey jacket zipped over a white T-shirt

Four a.m. streetlight flickers off, then on again

He said we don't stop for anything that's just noise

I said the engine's tired but my legs won't know

Tire blowout and I didn't brake at all

Ran the curb till the hood started to crack

Every house went dark before we turned in

Left a trail of dust where our shadow spins

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how far do we have to go

Before the whole world finally knows

Chorus

Run like hell is leaving

Feet keep moving, even when the wind goes still

Every window's closing behind us tonight

So I'm running till there's nothing left to run from

Run like hell is leaving

Watch the lights fade soft into the blue

Verse

Empty gas tank rattling on a rail of rust

Radio static where our names are written in dust

He took the wheel with one eye closed

Said something about dawn breaking slow as blood

I didn't ask what this was for or who it's owed

Just kept my eyes fixed down that empty road

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how far do we have to go

Before the whole world finally knows

Chorus

Run like hell is leaving

Feet keep moving, even when the wind goes still

Every window's closing behind us tonight

So I'm running till there's nothing left to run from

Run like hell is leaving

Watch the lights fade soft into the blue

Bridge

Maybe this was always just a shape we made up in our heads

A door that never opened anyway

Maybe it's enough to know we tried at all

Before we disappear behind this wall

Chorus

Run like hell is leaving

Feet keep moving, even when the wind goes still

Every window's closing behind us tonight

So I'm running till there's nothing left to run from

Run like hell is leaving

Watch the lights fade soft into the blue
