Run It Down

[Verse 1]

Alarm again

Same ceiling

Same crack

Coffee stains on my notebook

Plans scribbled in black

Everybody’s talking

Safe jobs

Safe town

But my heart’s on the highway

I can’t sit down

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah I’ve heard the rumors

“Kid

You’re aiming too high”

But the fear feels smaller

Every time that I try

[Chorus]

I’m gonna run it down

Every wild

Impossible vision

Fall hard

Hit the ground

Stand back up with clearer ambition

If the road gets rough

I’ll bleed

I’ll bruise

I’ll still believe

I’m gonna run it down

Till the dream runs into me

[Verse 2]

Late shift ends

City’s all closed

I’m singing in the stairwell

Echo in my clothes

Friends say they’re fading

Trading sparks for sleep

But something keeps on burning

Somewhere underneath

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah the nights feel longer

When you’re chasing a star

But each tiny failure

Is a map of where you are

[Chorus]

I’m gonna run it down

Every wild

Impossible vision

Fall hard

Hit the ground

Stand back up with clearer ambition

If the road gets rough

I’ll bleed

I’ll bruise

I’ll still believe

I’m gonna run it down

Till the dream runs into me

[Bridge]

One more “no”

One more closed door

(so what, so what)

I’ve come too far to turn back now

This is what these tired feet are for

[Final Chorus]

I’m gonna run it down

Every wild

Impossible vision

Fall hard

Shake the ground

Rise again with sharper precision

When the road gets rough

I’ll bleed

I’ll bruise

I’ll still believe (still believe)

I’m gonna run it down

Till the dream runs into me

Yeah

I’ll run it down

Till the dream runs into me (oh, till it runs to me)

Till the dream runs into me (oh, till it runs to me)
