[Verse 1]
I left my boots by the door
Didn’t trust my own shadow
Sick of the crack in the floor
Where the cold kept echoing low
Every room had a name
Every scar knew my face
I was losing that game
Till you walked into place
[Pre-Chorus]
You looked right through the smoke
Like you knew my name
Hand on the hurt I hide
And you pulled at the chain
[Chorus]
Black boots on, I run
Black boots on, I run
You make the dark come undone
You make the dark come undone
(undone) (undone)
[Verse 2]
World on my back like stone
Too many nights in the rain
I was my own worst ghost
Tried to outrun the pain
Then your laugh hit hard
Like a match to a wire
One look from your eyes
And the whole grave caught fire
[Pre-Chorus]
You looked right through the smoke
Like you knew my name
Hand on the hurt I hide
And you pulled at the chain
[Chorus]
Black boots on, I run
Black boots on, I run
You make the dark come undone
You make the dark come undone
(undone) (undone)
[Bridge]
[Cut Time Solo]
I was gone in the split of a second
Two-step heart, and I’m back on my feet
Every broken thing in me bending
When you say my name, it gets easy to breathe
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Black boots on, I run
Black boots on, I run
You make the dark come undone
You make the dark come undone
Black boots on, I run
Black boots on, I run
You make the dark come undone
You make the dark come undone
(undone) (undone) (you pull me through)
