[Verse 1]
You can never stay out of trouble
You love the edge, you crave the rubble
Thought you’d skate past every warning
Now they got your face in the morning
Paper on your name, that stain
You laugh it off like it’s a game
You always did chase the sirens
Now they’re coming for you in silence
[Chorus]
X-hubby, you can’t run forever
They got your name in red ink, tethered
Every back road, every fake new number
They’ll drag you out of that borrowed cover
X-hubby, there’s a warrant on your ghost (yeah)
Flashlights sweeping through the shadows you chose
You can’t run, can’t run forever
X-hubby, you can’t run forever
[Verse 2]
You leave town, same old pattern
Change your phone, spin your story faster
But every lie you stitch together
Still bleeds through like bad leather
You always swore the rules don’t stick
You slip the net, you move too quick
But all your luck runs thin someday
And I’ll be watching when they say your name
[Chorus]
X-hubby, you can’t run forever
They got your name in red ink, tethered
Every back road, every fake new number
They’ll drag you out of that borrowed cover
X-hubby, there’s a warrant on your ghost (oh)
Flashlights sweeping through the shadows you chose
You can’t run, can’t run forever
X-hubby, you can’t run forever
[Bridge]
You hear that knock?
That’s your past on the door (hey)
Blue lights bloom
On your perfect decor
You played god
In a paper crown
Guess who’s laughing
When it all falls down
[Chorus]
X-hubby, you can’t run forever
They got your name in red ink, tethered
Every back road, every fake new number
They’ll drag you out of that borrowed cover
X-hubby, there’s a warrant on your ghost
Flashlights sweeping through the shadows you chose
You can’t run, can’t run forever
X-hubby, you can’t run forever (yeah)
