Lyrics Mat Kearney – Runaway

Tonight you’re letting go, under the burning glow
We’re too young to hold this load on our own
Autumn came and went, riding them violent winds
Blowing through the trees, you could feel it on your skin

Walking the lost streets, no one ever shares
Cry yourself to sleep, waiting on a little prayer
Bags are by the door, hearts are on the floor
There’s a bottle full of tears on the dresser drawer

Nobody knows the trouble we’ve seen
Nobody knows the price of this dream
And nobody knows what it took to believe
Nobody

She wants to be free, like a runaway, ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way, ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we’re running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay

The road below our wheels, all that we fought to heal
You close your eyes and cry, dying for the right to feel
I hear it coming down, oh the sweetest sound
Of forgotten tears falling on the solid ground

Nobody knows the trouble we’ve seen
Nobody knows the price of this dream
And nobody knows what it took to believe
Nobody

She wants to be free, like a runaway ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we’re running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

We’re singing «How did we get this far riding on a shooting star? »
It’s like flying on the wings of God

She wants to be free
Like a runaway ay ay ay
Try to believe, gonna find a way ay ay ay ay
We got just one life, tonight we’re running all the lights
Try to break free, like a runaway ay ay ay ay ay
