Long Run (feat. Sage Young & Gabriel Tyler) - Noah the Poet

5: 45 on the 405 Sun on my skin, feels Like a fire. Smoke in the air, From the burning Tires, still got a long Way. 8: 38 I set my keys Down, pour out some Veno from my Hometown, put on That record with that Old song and let my Song play, let my Song play. Ohhhoh it's getting Colder on the backlot Tryin to be a big shot. Ohhhoh it's getting Spacey in the club Scene, dancin with a Dope fiend, Ohhohhohh gunna Head back to the Barn, where it's Sunny on the farm it's Been a long day, long Day. I feel ya, ya I been Feelin her, LA is my Queen sometimes She steels ya. I dropped a got a Couple of racks on This tequila but made A Millia yesterday, Money, I made it real Ya, think back to the Days, I would starve To pay the bills ya, Not bad when a Couple of tries can Make that deal ya, We've come a long Way, long way. Ohhhoh it's getting Colder on the backlot Tryin to be a big shot. Ohhhoh it's getting Spacey in the club Scene, dancin with a Dope fiend, Ohhohhohh gunna Head back to the Barn, where it's Sunny on the farm it's Been a long day, long Day. Wait, if it's only For a minute. Ohhhoh I can't stay In this place, not For a minute . Ohhhoh it's getting Colder on the backlot Tryin to be a big shot. Ohhhoh it's getting Spacey in the club Scene, dancin with a Dope fiend, Ohhohhohh gunna Head back to the Barn, where it's Sunny on the farm it's Been a long day, long Day.

SV1 Come tap tap on my window Baby's gone bad hit the Pinto Ring ring girl got my crew set Routine red rolling right through it Riding shot shotgun riding ghost PCH so we gotta coastS Pin spin radio turn it up Flat broke looking like a million bucks Pre-Chorus Life's more fun the faster we go Max out the stereo Promise to never get old All that glitters ain't gold Keep your eyes on the road The only way that we know Promise to never let go All that glitters ain't gold Run the oscillator Summer in the cheap seats faded We can't get no greater Summer in the cheap seats faded Summer in the cheap seats faded

Yeah, yeah, yeah Her beauty's crazy I watch her from the crowd Her voice is so amazing She make her momma proud I tried to send her flowers But she has no address Her home is in my heart It's like she never left This is more than a crush More than a like, like More than a love Baby I'ma make you mine And I ain't giving up This is more than a crush More than a like, like More than a love Baby I'ma make you mine And I ain't giving up Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Shawty you got fire But I'm preaching to the choir I know you know The whole world is watching you, so Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Uh, they say true love is blind That real romance is timeless You're like my favorite movie Play it and rewind it 'Cause baby you're the finest Your love I'm gonna find it And when I do, I'll run away with you Somewhere where they can't find us This is more than a crush More than a like, like More than a love Baby I'ma make you mine And I ain't giving up This is more than a crush More than a like, like More than a love Baby I'ma make you mine And I ain't giving up Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Shawty you got fire But I'm preaching to the choir I know you know The whole world is watching you, so Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Normally I couldn't turn your head That's why I had to write this instead Let's be friends, start out slow Get to know you beyond your glow You're more than meets the eye Girl you pterodactyl fly Way back when you knew my name Now the truth is what I claim Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you Shawty you got fire But I'm preaching to the choir I know you know The whole world is watching you, so Don't run away Don't run away from the truth 'Cause I'm not giving up on you

I'm in way over my head Can't the find sunset over me The mirror in front of my bed Sees the one I said I'd never be Try to escape from the storms Spinning over like a hurricane Can't get away in the dark 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run! 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run! The stolen innocence weights on my shoulders It's heavy now These broken nights we spend They shine through the cracks till they way out Try to escape from the storms Spinning over like a hurricane Can't get away in the dark 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run! 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run! 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down, Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run! 'Cause I don't wanna leave without you now Only gravity can hold us down Just hold on to faith when we're still young We were born to run!

Down by the river junior year Walking with my girl, And we came upon a place There in the tall grass where a couple Had been making love And left the mark of their embrace. I said to her, "Looks like they had some fun." She said to me, "Let's do the same." And still I taste her kisses And her freckles in the sun When I play the poet game. A young man down in hill country In the year of '22 Went to see his future bride. She lived in a rough old shack That poverty blew through. She invited him inside. She'd been cooking, ashamed and feeling sad, She could only offer him bread and her name - Grandpa said that it was the best gift A fella ever had And he taught me the poet game. I had a friend who drank too much And played too much guitar - And we sure got along. Reel-to-reels rolled across The country near and far With letters poems and songs. But these days he don't talk to me And he won't tell me why. I miss him every time i say his name. I don't know what he's doing Or why our friendship died While we played the poet game. The fall rain was pounding down On an old New Hampshire mill And the river wild and high. I was talking to her while leaves blew down Like a sudden chill - There was wildness in her eyes. We made love like we'd been waiting All of our lives for this - Strangers know no shame - But she had to leave at dawn And with a sticky farewell kiss Left me to play the poet game. I watched my country turn into A coast-to-coast strip mall And I cried out in a song: If we could do all that in thirty years, Then please tell me you all - Why does good change take so long? Why does the color of your skin Or who you choose to love Still lead to such anger and pain? And why do I think it's any help For me to still dream of Playing the poet game? Sirens wail above the fields - Another soul gone down - Another Sun about to rise. I've lost track of my mistakes, Like birds they fly around And darken half of my skies. To all of those I've hurt - I pray you'll forgive me. I to you will freely do the same. So many things I didn't see, With my eyes turned inside, Playing the poet game. I walk out at night to take a leak Underneath the stars - Oh yeah that's the life for me. There's Orion and the Pleiades And I guess that must be Mars - All as clear as we long to be. I've sung what I was given - Some was bad and some was good. I never did know from where it came And if I had it all to do again I am not sure I would Play the poet game.

The end The songwriter's dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands of Empathica Of Innocence Empathica Innocence The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer torn apart by chains of hell One last perfect verse Is still the same old song Oh Christ how I hate what I have become Take me home Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world My home was there 'n then Those meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days, one with every smiling face Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise, tell me once my heart goes right Take me home Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Whore for the cold world Whore for the cold world Sparkle my scenery With turquoise waterfall With beauty underneath The Ever Free Tuck me in beneath the blue Beneath the pain Beneath the rain Goodnight kiss for a child in time Swaying blade my lullaby On the shore we sat and hoped Under the same pale moon Whose guiding light chose you Chose you all "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid Being raped again, and again, and again I know I will die alone, but loved You live long enough to hear the sound of guns Long enough to find yourself screaming every night Long enough to see your friends betray you For years I've been strapped unto this altar Now I only have 3 minutes and counting I just wish the tide would catch me first And give me a death I always longed for" Second robber to the right of Christ Cut in half, infanticide The world will rejoice today As the crows feast on the rotting poet Everyone must bury their own No pack to bury the heart of stone Now he's home in hell, serves him well Slain by the bell, tolling for his farewell The morning dawned, upon his altar Remains of the dark passion play Performed by his friends without shame Spitting on his grave as they came Getaway, runaway, fly away Lead me astray to dreamer's hideaway I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world Forgive me I have but two faces One for the world One for God, save me I cannot cry 'cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cоld world Whore for the cold world Whore for the cold world "Today, in the year of our Lord 2005 Tuomas was called from the cares of the world He stopped crying at the end of each beautiful day The music he wrote had too long been without silence He was found naked and dead With a smile in his face A pen and 1000 pages of erased text" Save me Be still, my son You're home Oh when did you become so cold? The blade will keep on descending All you need is to feel my love Search for beauty, find your shore Try to save them all, bleed no more You have such oceans within In the end I will always love you The beginning
