Verse 1
Opened up soft and slow, cool and deliberate
A dissonant flow that somehow fits
Lyin’ in for days, in so many ways
And holdin’ on through the night
There in our Eden, we were repeatin’
All the typical motions of love
I know everybody’s so damn worried ‘bout the next move
But what if we stepped too soon
And bound ourselves too tight
Pre-chorus
You don’t see it
What’s gonna come
Chorus
O-o-o-o-oh
I keep tryin’ to break
From this runaway love
O-o-o-o-oh
I can’t leave it to fate
I won’t wait for the fall
Verse 2
It’s comin’ into focus, all this myopia
You still hope but the utopia’s gone
We’re just gettin’ static, it’s so automatic
But you still feel the need to hold on
Baby, all good, all good things
Well they gotta stop some time
Maybe I could thaw these wings
And take ‘em up off this line
Pre-chorus
I can’t save it
It’s barreling on
Chorus
O-o-o-o-oh
I keep tryin’ to break
From this runaway love
O-o-o-o-oh
I can’t call it too late
I won’t wait for the fall
Bridge
There’s nowhere I can flee now, baby
There’s nothing I can say or do
You think I’m perfect for you
That you’re perfect for me
And we’re certain to always be
Chorus (x2)
O-o-o-o-oh
I’m just tryin’ to break
From this runaway love
O-o-o-o-oh
I can’t chalk it to fate
I won’t wait for the fall
Pre-chorus
I got a runaway…
...love
