Running In Place (NIKI AM)

(album: Hope - 2012)

Dead lights & empty bottles
Another year is hard to swallow.
Let's build this up just to break it down.
Let's build this up just to break it down again.

Foreign lands & inner struggles
Your demands have gotten shallow.
Let's build this up just to break it down.
Let's build this up just to break it down again.

Cut the cord I can make it on my own.

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can't get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window.
[x2]

Below the soil & the dirt
Are all my friends that have my heart.
My families gone & all that's left
Is this stupid song & a hole in my chest.

Well I'm still here & I'm still breathing.
This half of my heart is hardly beating
She keeps repeating all that she needed
But I don't care I like this distance.

Cut the cord I can make it on my own.

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can't get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window.
[x2]

Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down.
[x2]

All my friends are gone & they're not coming back again
Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down.
[x2]

[Chorus]
