We Ain't Ready

(album: Surviving The Suburbs - 2018)

You want me to be the daddy
We're both just kids
No, no mortality
Wanna move us all in to the valley
And grow up quick
And start a family

But every night since we let it slip
I keep on running, keep on running
Out of the suburbs and off of the grid
I keep on running, keep on running
So no one can find me

We ain't ready
We ain't ready to start a home
No, we ain't ready
Let me call this what you want

It was one late night
Our breath was laced with whiskey fire
Took that chance
Then we tripped the wire
But it ain't right
We're way too young to feel so tired
Took that chance
Knowing that the cost was higher

I see you running at my doorstep
Raising hell
My folks don't know yet
We can't just move into the basement
Without paying rent
Not on this pay check

Every night since we let it slip
I keep on running, keep on running
Out of the suburbs and off of the grid
I keep on running, keep on running
Till no one can find me

But we ain't ready
We ain't ready to start a home
No, we ain't ready
Let me call this what you want

It was one late night
Our breath was laced with whiskey fire
Took that chance
Then we tripped the wire
But it ain't right
We're way too young to feel so tired
Took that chance
Knowing that the cost was higher

I'm more scared every day
For what comes next
And what people might say
But this marks the first day
Of the end of our lives
But it won't change the way
I feel about you
I wanna run away without you

All along, thought I was good natured
And stayed but now I know
I'm just a coward, baby
I ain't ready
I ain't ready to start a home
No, I ain't ready
To raise one of my own
