Lyrics

Leaning out the window, watch the dying of the sun Balancing the weight of a pill on her tongue She'll be getting that look in her eyes Cold and lonely, but I don't know why See her near the border at the end of the line She falls down and I can't do enough But I won't ever let her give up The angel and the fool You're running out, keep running You're running out, keep running You're running out, keep running Running out, keep running out She found herself in a world full of men Watching her slowly destroy all her plans Gives all the love she won't allow herself to even dream about But both of are older now and it won't be long The early morning siren Is growing louder now 'Cause waking up is hard enough when there's no one else around See her near the border at the end of the line She falls down and I can't do enough But I won't ever let her give up The angel and the fool You're running out, keep running You're running out, keep running You're running out, keep running Running out, keep running out
