"Running Wide Open" lyrics

"Running Wide Open"

Traffic lights turning blue
Everyone that we burn through
Only me and you
Queen of booze
Ain't no furniture in our house
No screaming and fighting anymore
The living room turns blue, we're
Both sleeping on the floor

I wanna be an engine
Running wide open
Running wide open
Till I can't run no more

Living with one eye closed
One eye on the cage door
Everyday is the day that I'll die, and
Be afraid no more
When dad found out about
Where we were hiding out
He came down like a sea of rage
Crashing onto the shore

I wanna be an engine
Running wide open
Running wide open
Till I can't run no more

I let the years go by
I let no one know what's inside
My broken heart keeps a beat just fine
I don't want to die no more
I see my future and my past
All at once in a lightning flash
All you can do is laugh
Until you just can't no more

I wanna be an engine
Running wide open
Running wide open
Till I can't run no more

I wanna be an engine
Running wide open
Running wide open
Till I can't run no more
