I

can

still

re-

mem-

ber

The

words

and

what

they

meant

As

we

etched

them

with

our

fin-

gers

In

years

of

wet

ce-

ment.

Days

blurred

in-

to

each

o-

ther;

Though

eve-

ry-

thing

seemed

clear.

We

cruised

a-

long

at

half

speed

But

then

we

shif-

ted

gears.

We

ran

like

vam-

pires

from

a

thou-

sand

bur-

ning

suns

But

ev-

en

then

we

should

have

stayed.

But

we

ran

a-

way

Now

all

my

friends

are

gone.

May-

be

we’ve

out-

grown

all

the

things

that

we

once

loved.

Run-

a-

way,

ay!

What

are

we

run-

ning

from?

A

show

of

hands

from

those

in

this

aud-

i-

ence

of

one.

Where

have

they

gone?

I-

den-

ti-

ties

ass-

ume

us

As

nine

and

five

add

up

Syn-

chro-

ni-

zing

wat-

ches

To

the

se-

conds

that

we

lost.

But

I

looked

up

and

saw

you,

I

know

that

you

saw

me.

We

froze

but

for

a

mo-

ment

In

em-

pa-

thy.

I

brought

down

the

sky

for

you

but

all

you

did

was

shrug.

You

gave

my

em-

pti-

ness

a-

way.

But

you

ran

a-

way.

Now

all

my

friends

are

gone.

May-

be

we’ve

out-

grown

all

the

things

that

we

once

loved.

Run-

a-

way,

ay!

What

are

we

run-

ning

from?

A

show

of

hands

from

those

in

this

aud-

i-

ence

of

one.

Where

have

they

gone?

We’re

all

o-

kay,

un-

til

the

day

we’re

not.

The

sur-

face

shines,

while

the

in-

side

rots.

We

raced

the

sun-

set

and

we

al-

most

won.

We

slammed

the

brakes,

but

the

wheels

went

o-

on.

But

we

ran

a-

way!

Ay!

Now

all

my

friends

are

gone.

May-

be

we’ve

out-

grown

all

the

things

that

we

once

loved.

Run-

a-

way,

ay!

What

are

we

run-

ning

from?

A

show

of

hands

from

those

in

this

aud-

i-

ence

of

one.

Where

have

they

gone?
