"Run All Night" lyrics

The Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics

"Run All Night"

I was born a stranger on a dead-end street
I'm a ghost in a corner, never meant to be
I was living in the silence
Till I heard it scream
But I kept my head down, staring at my feet
Didn't say a word, I was never seen
Yeah, I killed my father's name
Before it killed me

Don't let you dreams die young
Don't let your heart go numb
'Cause all we got is just one life
You better run all night, better run all night
So let's burn so bright
While we're still alive
And on this long, lonely mile
We better run all night, better run all night
Better run all night

I was going crazy tryna break my cage
I was caught inside a blinding rage
I was searching for a reason
But couldn't find a way
Yeah, we broke away and we were oh so young
But we're born in shadows that you can't outrun
Yeah, they'll catch you when you're older
Turn around and then it's over

Don't let your dreams die young
Don't let your heart go numb
And all I got is just one life
You better run all night, better run all night
And we'll burn so bright
'Cause we're still alive
And on this long, lonely mile
We gotta run all night, gotta run all night
All night

Oh, we're ready
Oh, it's heavy
But it's real

Yeah, love's a bullet well worth taking
When your heart beats it's not breaking down
Believe me now

Don't let your dreams die young
Don't let your heart go numb
And all I got is just one life
You better run all night, better run all night
And we'll burn so bright
'Cause we're still alive
And on this long, lonely mile
We gotta run all night, gotta run all night
