Run
I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done.
And I can barely look at you,
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear.
Louder, louder
And we’ll run for our lives.
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say.
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you, dear.
