I guess it's saying something you're not running away Hiding in the dark but you still want me to play You are not alone You are not alone As we're walking through the bodies Looking for the door Soon we gotta go Soon we gotta go Only using eyes you tell me all I need to know Do you want to get out of here? Do you wanna be gone Well, let's just get out of here And when we get home Lay down Lay down in my bed And when we get home Stay down Stay down And catch my breath It's no heart attack Cardiac A strong attraction We're image capturing Heart attack Cardiac Let's run it back when we get home Riding down the highway running reds You and me babe nobody guessed I forgot my phone You forgot your phone Nothing can Distract me when you're pulling on my arm Busy on the road Busy on the road Got the whole night Where you wanna go? Do you want to get out of here? Do you wanna be gone Well, let's just get out of here And when we get home Lay down Lay down in my bed And when we get home Stay down Stay down And catch my breath It's no heart attack Cardiac A strong attraction We're image capturing Heart attack Cardiac Let's run it back when we get home
