It was a Saturday, I remember it well,
|
Day you told me that you’re leaving.
|
Funny, I knew, it wasn’t hard to tell,
|
The way you’re kicking at the ground.
|
|
And we run like wolves and we fight like vultures,
|
It hurts so deep that it puts us under.
|
Like so many ways to keep dragging you down,
|
Cuts into the bone.
|
|
So you burn your bridges, changed your name,
|
Stole the keys ,then threw them all away.
|
I know we’re not the same, you know I remember everything.
|
No, we’re not the same, keep on running, don’t look back again.
|
|
And you told me the story about how it would be,
|
The other life that’s just outside the door.
|
I can feel it, just wait and see,
|
Late tomorrow night.
|
|
And we’ll run on God and we’ll run on Jesus,
|
Somehow together we’re all run this whole time.
|
It’s deep down in the bones.
|
|
So you burn your bridges, changed your name,
|
Stole the keys ,then threw them all away.
|
I know we’re not the same, you know I remember everything.
|
No, we’re not the same, keep on running, don’t look back again.
|
|
And for so many nights I keep running around,
|
Finding love in places, now you’re gone.
|
And I know that you don’t understand being by the arm.
|
And I’ll run God and I’ll run Jesus,
|
Use this drink ‘till I run this whole world.
|
It’s deep down in the bones.
|
|
So you burn your bridges, changed your name,
|
Stole the keys ,then threw them all away.
|
I know we’re not the same, you know I remember everything.
|
No, we’re not the same, keep on running, don’t look back again.
|
You just keep on running, don’t look back again.
|
Go, keep on running, don’t look back again.
