"Every Light" lyrics

Runnin' every light that came upon them
They headed toward the place where he'd be born
Given all the names that came before him
Destined for a life of being torn

So with everything inside
He stared out to the light
And held his hands against the walls of time
Through barely opened eyes
And yelled out
Though you may want me
I ain't ready to go

Runnin' every light that came upon them
Booze and cheap tattoos along the way
Always staying on the wanted list
Or just in with a bad crowd some would say

With everything inside
He stared onto the night
And roared we all will live forever
Never be told time
And even though they may not want me
I ain't ready to go

Runnin' every light that came upon them
He proved his love with the pedal down to the floor
(Proved his love with the pedal down to the floor)
Though she knew he was a wanted man
And always dreamed of having more

With everything inside
He looked into her eyes
And then he swore that it would all work out
'Til the end of time
Then promised though
You may not want me
I ain't ready to go

Runnin' every light that came upon them
Never seen it comin'
Though he did
Facing the names that came before him
Deep within the darkness where he often hid

With everything inside
He stared up to the sky
And searched for any sign of Heaven
With a teardrop in his eye
And whispered
Though you may want me
Though you may want me
Even though you may want me
I ain't ready to go
I ain't ready to go
