Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

X2

I can still remember

 The words and what they meant

 As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement

Days blurred into each other

 Though everything seemed clear

 We cruised along at half speed

But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns

But even then we should have stayed

 But we ran away

 Now all my friends gone

 Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved

 Runaway

what are we running from ?

 A show of hands from those in this audience of one

 Where have they gone ?

Identities assume us

 As nine and five add up

 Synchronizing watches

To the seconds that we lost

I looked up and saw you

 I know that you saw me

 We froze but for a moment

In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug

You gave my emptiness away

 And you ran away

 Now all my friends gone

 Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved

 Runaway

what are we running from ?

 A show of hands from those in this audience of one

 Where have they gone ?

We’re all ok, until the day we’re not

The surface shines, while the inside rots

We raced the sunset and we almost won

We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

 And we ran away

 Now all my friends gone

 Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things that we once loved

 Runaway

what are we running from ?

 A show of hands from those in this audience of one

 Where have they gone ?
