Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alarm in the dark She’s staring at numbers Blue glow on her face Jaw tight in the covers Bus brake Coffee Hands that won’t stop shaking All week in circles And every bone is aching [Chorus] I’m always running Running Running Running out of days Trading all my hours For a little bit of pay World on my chest Can barely breathe some nights But when I make it through the door You two turn on the lights I’m always running Running Running But you feel like time made right [Verse 2] She texts “you okay?” Three hearts and a bad meme I answer with thumbs Then cry in the washroom steam Teacher says his name At some midday meeting Picture day I missed Guilt like a heartbeat beating [Chorus] I’m always running Running Running Running past my life Chasing down the rent On a treadmill made of ice World on my chest Can barely breathe some nights But when I make it through the door You two turn on the lights I’m always running Running Running But you feel like time made right [Bridge] We’re on the kitchen floor Cold tile Late night cereal (hey) She says “you’re more than tired You’re my favorite miracle” Our boy draws three stick hearts On a crumpled grocery list Says “Moms I’ll share my minutes You can have some of my ticks” [Chorus] I’m always running Running Running Running out of air But your arms around my shoulders Make it almost fair World on my chest Still heavy most nights Yet somehow in this little home The weight feels half as wide I’m always running Running Running But with you I’m right on time

Dusty alt-pop ballad with intimate female vocals, low-key verses over fingerpicked guitar and soft pads. Chorus lifts with warm bass, roomy drums, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Subtle synth swells in the bridge, energy crests then drops back for a tender, close-mic final chorus., world
