'Cause you're running through the city rain Living life, babe, higher dream It's kind of funny how the clouds don't mean a thing now And I heard you're living on your own How's it feel to pay for your own phone? You gotta job now, honey Yeah, you did, what you said you would do And I never doubted you for a minute For a minute, babe I just thought that you were meant for more And with all the years that we've wasted It's time for our own lives 'Cause it's gonna rain in the city, so you might as well get out and play And now you're crying in the city rain 'Cause it just doesn't feel the same As it did when you were young You were in love, and now you work away your days But ain't that all you ever wanted In your life? In your life? oh And now you're 60 and all your dreams are so far away And you hate the way that you lived your life But at least you made a few bones And all your kids have left the nest and you're all alone With your fading memory and you're so lonely But at least you gotta nice home And I never doubted you for a minute For a minute, babe I just thought that you were meant for more And with all the years that we've wasted It's time for our own lives 'Cause it's gonna rain in the city, so you might as well get out and play But when you look back at the days Will you forget all the ways that you went wrong? Or will you remember all the things That didn't mean a thing at all? Or will you say, it's all in my head, all in my head, all in my head? It's in my head, in my head, in my head Oh, it's in my head, in my head, in my head Oh, it's in my head, in my head, in my head It's in my head, in my head, in my head Oh, it's in my head, in my head, in my head

'Cause all the days, they pass us by And all the nights, they wander on by Now I just sit here and wonder why, oh no I can't keep up with my own life Oh, mmm But in my dreams, I see a lake A river runs through honey, it's okay But in my mind, I'm not okay And all these thoughts, I can't erase, oh My brother found God at the bottom of a bottle I lost my way home, you think that I can call you? Mother, how are you doing? I'm sorry that I left you I'm tryna find my way, I promise that I'll be home soon Woah, yeah, mmm And I put my faith in my own hands See where I go Oh, I threw my fears into the ocean Hoping that they'd be washed away Be washed away And I I found a little peace in my own mind My own mind, woah But in my dreams, I see a lake A river runs through honey, it's okay But in my mind, I'm not okay And all these thoughts, I can't erase, woah oh But in my dreams, I see a lake A river runs through honey, it's okay But in my mind, I'm not okay And all these thoughts, I can't erase, no No, no

You and I don't even gotta try 'Cause our love is suspended in a distant sky Running around in the water Running around in the water on your own Running around in the waves Running around in the waves, you're not alone Yeah, you and I will try until we die Distance keeps us young so let's bask in the rain it feels warm for a while Running around in the water Running around in the water on your own, own Running around in the waves Running around in the waves, you're not alone Yeah, I know sometimes it's hard, so hard to be away And we say somethings we shouldn't say, shouldn't say Then the days start to slow down, girl, I know now Yeah, I know, yeah, I know that We're running around in the water Running around in the water on your own, own Running around in the waves Running around in the waves, you're not alone Yeah, you're not alone Oh, you're not alone, no, you're not alone 'Cause we're running around, running around, running around Oh yeah, oh

Baby, I've been taking photos down 'Cause I can't find a better place to replace my time We've been running around laying down in foreign sand Overlooking the city with a bottle of rum in our hands Lately I've been writing my thoughts down again Like how it feels to watch the days inside the photos grow so old But the one of you with the flowers tucked behind your ear Makes me think of the days That are to come Baby, the moon no longer screams at me And I love the way we We spend our time, no ohh Well, I can dream again Yeah, I'm home now Soon I'll be sleeping where the snow falls down And I gotta find a way to light that fire in my heart To keep me warm Oh, the feelings unknown Oh, I'm scared as shit too But my best friend put it in the hands of the man upstairs Now he screams in the air, ohhh From high ridge to stones Ohh from Houston to Venice I'm ready for the days That are to come Baby, the moon no longer screams at me And I love the way we We spend our time, no ohh And I can dream again I'm home now Mmm Ohhhh Sing that song for me Woah mm Girl, I've been runnin' 'round, runnin' runnin' 'round while Singing to the sky and the stars Soon I'll be drowning out drowning, drowning out my sorrows Ohhh baby, I've been runnin' around, all I need And I sing Baby, the moon no longer screams at me I love the way we We spend our time, no no no no no no ooh Ohhh Ohhh

With every step I take I'm taking one step away from you And when I close my eyes I hear the wind in the Northern Plains Oh, and I've been wasting away this time Allowing doubt to fill my mind Oh, and I've been spending all that I have On cheap tattoos Oh, but maybe one day When I'm out there on the road I'll think of you Oh, but maybe one day I'll be there with you Ooh Ooh, oh, oh, oh-ooh Aah-ah Ah-aah, ah, ah, ah, ah-oh Well, I seem to rely on myself Where am I hiding? These dreams don't seem to do the same as they used to now Oh, honey, oh When I ask myself, "What the hell am I doing here? What am I doing here?" I thought of you And all the nights we shared under the sky When you were lonely Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, ooh Oh, but maybe one day When I'm out there on the road I'll think of you Oh, but maybe one day I'll be there with you Ooh Ooh, oh, oh, oh-ooh Aah-ah Ah-aah, ah, ah, ah, ah (Yeah, I find my way, oh, yeah) (Find my...) (I find my way, oh, yeah) (Boy, I find my way, yeah) (Yeah, I find my way, oh, yeah) (Find my way, yeah) (Let me find all the way) (Find my...)
