Running For Cover

(Verse 1)
The porch light is flickering, dying away
There’s nothing left for a sinner to say
I packed up the ghost of the life that we built
While trying to swallow the weight of the guilt
The keys on the counter, the silence is loud
I’m lost like a shadow that’s chasing a cloud
(Pre-Chorus)
I looked at the wreckage, the choices I’d made
While watching the colors of everything fade
The price of the ending was no big surprise
And that's when the tears filled her eyes
(Chorus)
Now I’m running for cover in the middle of June
Chasing the light of a hollowed-out moon
I’m leaving the pieces of us in the street
With the rhythm of concrete under my feet
Yeah, I’m chasing a ghost that I’ll never outrun
Under the weight of the damage I’ve done
(Verse 2)
You stood in the kitchen, just watching me go
With a look in your eyes like a wintry snow
I told you I loved you, but love wasn't enough
To smooth out the edges of living so rough
I reached for the handle, I headed for out
Wrapped in the jacket of worry and doubt
(Bridge)
I’m sorry for promises I couldn't keep
For the secrets I buried a little too deep
The map that we followed was missing a page
Just two lonely actors on a broken stage
(Chorus)
Now I’m running for cover in the middle of June
Chasing the light of a hollowed-out moon
I’m leaving the pieces of us in the street
With the rhythm of concrete under my feet
Yeah, I’m chasing a ghost that I’ll never outrun
Under the weight of the damage I’ve done
(Outro)
Yeah, the tears filled her eyes.
And I just kept walking.
No more lies. No more talking.
I’m gone
Ohhhh I’m gone
