[Verse 1]
[M] We walked through smoke and rain
With names we still won’t say
Old friends fell off the road
Like leaves in a flood in May
[F] I kept your note in my pocket
Creased soft from all the miles
We laughed till the hard days took it
And left us with thinner smiles
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] But I still hear the call
[F] Under the weight of it all
[M] Something out past the break
[F] Something nobody can take
[Chorus]
[M] Run it back
[F] Run it higher
[M] Run it back
[F] Out of the fire
[M] We’re not done
[F] Not by a mile
[M] Run it back
[F] Chase the wild
[Verse 2]
[F] We buried fear in the roadside dirt
And kicked dust off our boots
Your hand on the wheel said first we hurt
Then we learn what’s true
[M] I saw the dark try to name us
Saw the past try to chain us tight
But the open land kept waking
Like a drum in the engine’s bite
[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Hear that crack in the sky
[M] That’s our chance going by
[F] Let the old world fade
[M] We got more to make
[Chorus]
[M] Run it back
[F] Run it higher
[M] Run it back
[F] Out of the fire
[M] We’re not done
[F] Not by a mile
[M] Run it back
[F] Chase the wild
[Bridge]
[M] If we lose one more name
[F] We’ll still sing through the scar
[M] Take the weight, take the blame
[F] Then we’ll tear open the dark
[Breakdown]
[M] Hey!
[F] Hey!
[M] The road’s still young
[F] The road’s still young
[Final Chorus]
[M] Run it back
[F] Run it higher
[M] Run it back
[F] Out of the fire
[M] We’re alive
[F] That’s the vow
[M] Run it back
[F] Start it now
[M] Run it back
[F] Run it higher
[M] Run it back
[F] Burn brighter
[M] New blood
[F] New sky
[M] Run it back
[F] And fly
