Rory Runs

Verse 1

Rory in his room, hear Chezzie downstairs,

Yelling at the walls like nobody cares,

TV too loud, doors getting slammed,

Whole house shaking, yeah it’s outta hand.

Patrick grabs keys, “I’ll be back real quick,”

Same line every time, yeah it’s his old trick,

Rory grabs his hoodie, heart beating fast,

He’s done with tonight, he ain’t staying trapped.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Phone lights up — Izak on the line,

“Bro, you good?” yeah perfect timing,

Rory just sighs like “same old mess,”

Izak says “hold up, just wait a sec.”

⸻

Chorus

Rory runs, don’t look back,

Out the door, heart off track,

Through the noise and the shouting storms,

Trying to find somewhere that’s warm.

Rory runs, through the streetlight glow,

Don’t know why but he’s gotta go,

Engines roar and the tires spin,

Anywhere but where he’s been.

⸻

Verse 2

Black Jeep pulls, yeah it slides in clean,

Brooke at the wheel like a movie scene,

Cole in the back, Kade riding shotgun,

“Get in quick, yeah we gotta run.”

Door slams shut and they take off fast,

Rory looks back but it’s in the past,

Izak texting like “yo you safe?”

“Yeah I’m good, I just needed space.”

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Jeremy calling, he already knows,

“Kid, stay safe wherever you go,”

Rory stares at the passing lights,

Feels a little free for the first time tonight.

⸻

Chorus

Rory runs, don’t look back…

⸻

Bridge (emotional)

Maybe it’s not just running away,

Maybe it’s choosing a different lane,

Maybe the chaos don’t get to win,

Maybe this is where it ends.

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger)

Rory runs, yeah he finds his way,

Through every wild and messy day,

Not alone even when it feels that way,

He keeps moving anyway.
