Run To You

If you’re waking up wrapped in someone new

While I was chasing nights I thought I’d never live through

I wear this grin like a paper shield

But I’d give it all for one more night — to feel you for real

Remember the ferris wheel? I laughed, you screamed

Your head on my shoulder — both lost in a dream

You’d mock my songs while kissing the lines

We turned every bedroom into something divine

Your call came through at 3:59

Another war with your father — same broken line

So I run to you, yeah, I run to you

But I won’t sit on your old porch swing

I won’t wait for the dark to start its whispering

I might fall in a bed that don’t feel so right

But my soul’s still stuck in those Mexico nights

You said the world’s too much for me to take

I said then let’s burn it down, for fuck’s sake

So I run, yeah, I run

To the place where we came undone

Now I haunt these bars like I own the floor

Another name, another night, another face slammed door

I fake the charm, I play the scene

But the sorrow hides behind every smile seen

Your laugh’s a ghost I can’t outrun

It shows up drunk when the last song’s done

You’re not here, but you’re not that far

You’re still carved into every mental scar

But I won’t sit on your old porch swing

I won’t wait for the dark to start its whispering

I might fall in a bed that don’t feel so right

But my soul’s still stuck in those Mexico nights

You said the world’s too much for me to take

I said then let’s burn it down, for fuck’s sake

So I run, yeah, I run

To the place where we came undone

If you see me spinning out too fast

Don’t look, don’t ask — I’ll lie just to wear your mask

While I’m saying I’m fine, laughing like hell

But your memory, those scars, know me all too well

But I won’t sit on your old porch swing

I won’t wait for the dark to start its whispering

I might fall in a bed that don’t feel so right

But my soul’s still stuck in those Mexico nights

You said the world’s too much for me to take

I said then let’s burn it down, for fuck’s sake

So I run, yeah, I run

To the place where we came undone

Still you’re somewhere in a midnight song

Still you’re somewhere where the nights are long

Still, yeah, you’re somewhere —

Even when I’m gone
