"On The Run" lyrics

"On The Run"

You were living life on the edge
Watching the ground below
Falling from underneath your feet
And everything turn to stone
It's funny how you made me laugh
I didn't even know you well
You just had a way with words and it gets me
That I couldn't even tell

That you were on the run
But when you're looking for something
You can end up with nothing

So don't look down just leave this town
Or nothing's ever gonna change
Follow that star, get in your car
Hope is never far away
Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's right
We're all gonna fade or burn out bright
Then we're gone
We don't get long
So you know we've gotta find a way

You were standing high on a ledge
Watching it all unfold
Calling but no one heard you speak
So nobody could guide you home
It's funny how it takes me back
I didn't even know you well
You just had a way with words
And it gets me that I couldn't even tell

That you were on the run
But when you're looking for something
You can end up with nothing

So don't look down just leave this town
Or nothing's ever gonna change
Follow that star, get in your car
Hope is never far away
Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's right
We're all gonna fade or burn out bright
Then we're gone
We don't get long
So you know we've gotta find a way

So don't look down just leave this town
Or nothing's ever gonna change
Follow that star get in your car
Hope is never far away
Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's right
We're all gonna fade or burn out bright
Then we're gone
We don't get long
So you know we've gotta find a way
