Lyrics
[Verse 1]
By the time you get over here
We will be gone, everybody knows
We don't wait long
Some people said it's 'cause we're on the run
[Verse 2]
People will talk
I heard them saying we look broken and gaunt
I heard them saying we look weathered and old
I heard them saying we were out of control
[Verse 3]
And you say
Don't stop looking around your shoulder
It's all that lying, it's making you bolder
It's all that crying, it's making you older
It's time, it's time to get a grip
[Verse 4]
We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
[Verse 5]
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
[Verse 6]
Now I look back
Perhaps it's fair to say you had a point
But in our defense, we weren't alone
There were others
It felt like the whole world was running too
[Verse 7]
Don't stop looking around your shoulder
It's all that lying, it's making you bolder
It's all that crying, it's making you older
It's time, it's time to get a grip
[Verse 8]
We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
[Verse 9]
Runner, runner (We were constant runners)
Just keep on running (Running away from the world)
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner (We were constant runners)
Just keep on running (Though we were leaving it all)
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Behind
[Verse 10]
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up, ay
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up
It's all gonna catch you up
[Verse 11]
We were constant runners
And when the going got tough
We'd leave it all in our dust
We were constant runners
Till the day finally came
When we ran straight out of luck
[Verse 12]
Runner, runner (We were constant runners)
Just keep on running (Running away from the world)
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Runner, runner (We were constant runners)
Just keep on running (Though we were leaving it all)
Runner, runner
Just keep on running
Behind
