"Run For Cover" lyrics
When you were younger
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Daylight, walk till you can't see
The straight lines, written in gasoline
'Cause sometimes, it's not what you believe
That keeps you on the edge of your seat
Always looking outward
But it's somewhere underneath
Like how you're holding onto something
Just outside your reach
You complicate the point
Just because you choose not to speak
When you were younger
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
You keep tryna move on but the baggage weighs a ton
Rather run straight out the back door than to talk to anyone
And you keep telling yourself that the best is yet to come
(But when will it come?)
When you can't catch a breath
And it sends shivers down your spine
And looking in the mirror's
A face that you don't recognize
Tried praying to a God
'Cause it once gave you peace of mind
I won't tell you that it's easy
I won't tell you that it's kind
When you were younger
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Daylight, walk till you can't see
The straight lines, written in gasoline
'Cause sometimes, it's not what you believe
That keeps you on the edge of your seat
Always looking outward
But it's somewhere underneath
Like how you're holding onto something
Just outside your reach
You complicate the point
Just because you choose not to speak
When you were younger
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
You keep tryna move on but the baggage weighs a ton
Rather run straight out the back door than to talk to anyone
And you keep telling yourself that the best is yet to come
(But when will it come?)
When you can't catch a breath
And it sends shivers down your spine
And looking in the mirror's
A face that you don't recognize
Tried praying to a God
'Cause it once gave you peace of mind
I won't tell you that it's easy
I won't tell you that it's kind
When you were younger
Said you'd leave an open door, so you don't wonder
If you could really face the storm and rolling thunder
'Cause sometimes less is really more, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
Now you're older
Summer's fine but every winter just gets colder
You keep on fighting for the truth but you're no soldier
That your heart keeps waging war, don't run for cover
Even if you're outnumbered
