Constant Runners

(albüm: Night Swim - 2015)

By the time you get over here
We will be gone everybody knows
We don't wait long
some people say it's cause we're on the run

People will talk
I heard them saying we look broken and gaunt
I heard them saying we look weathered and old
I heard them saying we were out of control

And you say
Don't stop looking around your shoulder
It's all that lying its making you bolder
It's all that crying it's making you older
It's time, it's time to get a grip

We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck

Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner
Just keep on running [x2]

Now I look back
Perhaps it's fair to say you had a point
But in our defence we weren't along
There were others
It felt like the whole world was running too

Don't stop looking around your shoulder
It's all that lying its making you bolder
It's all that crying its making you older
It's time, it's time to get a grip

We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck

(Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner
Just keep on running)

We were constant runners
We were running away from the world
From ourselves
We were constant runners
Thought we were leaving it all behind

It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up

We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck

We were constant runners
We were running away from the world
From ourselves
We were constant runners
Thought we were leaving it all...
