[Intro]
[Cinematic cellos and violins swell over a deep synth drone]
[Slow garage beat drops]
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
[Verse 1]
So here we are at the edge of the screen (The final scene...)
Looking at everything we used to mean
The smoke has all cleared and the perfume is gone (It’s gone...)
And the dark night is finally turning to dawn
I’m standing right here where the highway divides (No more lies...)
No tears left to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
[The garage beat stutters as sub-bass frequencies begin to pulse]
Every static sound on the line (On the line...)
Just a countdown we ran out of time
You already have your keys in your hand (In your hand...)
While I’m still trying to understand
[Chorus]
I wish I was her—the one you were running to (Running to...)
The one who gets the future that I thought I knew
Instead of the one...Yeah, instead of the one...
You’re running through
[Deep vocal:]
Running right through me...
[Verse 2]
[String section swells into a dramatic, soaring melody]
I spent so many nights trying to anchor your ghost (Holding on tight)
Fighting for the version of you I loved most
But you can't build a life on a beautiful lie (Beautiful lie...)
You just watch the foundation crumble and die
I was a destination you used for a night (Just a stop on the road)
Before you took off on your next flight
[Pre-Chorus]
[The garage beat stutters as sub-bass frequencies begin to pulse]
Every static sound on the line (On the line...)
Just a countdown we ran out of time
You already have your keys in your hand (In your hand...)
While I’m still trying to understand
[Chorus]
I wish I was her—the one you were running to (Running to...)
The one who gets the future that I thought I knew
Instead of the one...Yeah, instead of the one...You’re running through
[Deep vocal:] Running right through me...
[Bridge]
[Drums and bass drop out; lonely strings remain]
You broke every promise, you broke every vow (Every vow...)
But it doesn't matter who’s holding you now
Because I am the ground that survived the storm (I survived...)
I don't need your fire to keep myself warm
You ran through my world and you left it in flames (In flames...)
But I’m stepping out of the wreckage and changing the names
[Outro]
[Strings slowly fade into a warm, infinite ambient synth drone]
Yeah, I wish I was her.
The one you’re running to.
Instead of the one...
[Synth drone stops instantly into absolute silence]
[Whispered, dry, and close to the mic]
You’re running through.
[Faint sound of rain on a windowpane rolls in for three seconds, then cuts to complete silence]
