Constant Runners

By the time you get over here

We will be gone everybody knows

We don't wait long

Some people say it's cause we're on the run

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

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

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

Runner, runner

Just keep on running

Runner, runner

Just keep on running

Runner, runner

Just keep on running

Runner, runner

Just keep on running

Now I look back

Perhaps it's fair to say you had a point

But in our defence we weren't along

There were others

It felt like the whole world

Was running too

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

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

We were constant runners

We were running away from the world

From ourselves

We were constant runners

Thought we were leaving it all behind

It's all gonna catch you up

It's all gonna catch you up

It's all gonna catch you up

It's all gonna catch you up

It's all gonna catch you up

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

We were constant runners

We were running away from the world

From ourselves

We were constant runners

Thought we were leaving it all...
