Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air It's hard Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running 'round It's funny how things never change in this old town So far From the stars And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I saw that you moved on with someone new In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you It's so hard So hard And I want to tell you everything The words I never got to say the first time around And I remember everything From when we were the children playing in this fairground Wish I was there with you now If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you I know that it's wrong That I can't move on But there's something 'bout you If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you Drive highways and byways to be there with you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you You still make me nervous when you walk in the room Them butterflies, they come alive when I'm next to you Over and over the only truth Everything comes back to you Everything comes back to you

City lights are pointing at me I close my eyes to see what you see Smoke cleared it took my breath away I crossed all seven different oceans To gather every perfect moment The brightest stars are falling down Oh love it's easy You should believe me Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away But still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around City lights are trying to catch me Open my eyes to see the beauty Falling stars are coming alive Oh love it's easy You should believe me In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun beneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around Black and white Blinding lights Here inside With me tonight Tonight the land of the lost belongs to me Running with my eyes shut somewhere in between In this town This town Miles away but still around Feeling the sun bneath all the gravity Finding my way to you till you find me This town This town Never gone back around This town This town

Running from the guns Point and shoot We used to played up on the playground Running from the guns Who thought Hardest part would be for me to stay down Running from the gun Breaks my heart If you decide to fly away now Running from the guns I am Running from the guns I make the devil mad Dancing with you All the angels lookin jealous Cause ya halo is hoops Hoverin over your shoulders Wings usually is folded I'm not used to extending them To tell you the truth Pull me off the wall, growing my roots Sheesh What I'm running from Following suit We needed more distance, so they wouldn't pursue Cuz up here, I'm making icarus envious too Of my soles And wings And freedoms And the songs They'll sing When I see em Moving on my own Put the dreaming aside Everybody on the porch Looked up to the sky Friends getting mad But before they knew Suddenly My niggas start lifting up too Through the clouds Brown shoulders, broke right on through With eyes watching god My heart stays on Running from the guns Point and shoot We used to played up on the playground Running from the guns Who thought Hardest part would be for me to stay down Running from the gun Breaks my heart If you decide to fly away now Running from the guns I am Running from the guns I saw that boy Then I saw his soles Wondering what songs this canary holds Glad he off the wall And his wings unfold Whole block gone cheer when he makes it home Holding heavy heart really makes it worse Til we found the only way for us to lift that curse If we run to a place where they know our worth Sun talked Said it's not my last day on earth Hurry up It's across the ridge! My gramps wants to fly So I scratch that itch And if Niggas crying Wit they arms raised That should imply that I'm in this bitch Nights on the car hood Layed out Crucified Grew much more From the love you provide Standing on staged Hold back All teary eyed Looking at my niggas Like glad all of you survived We can make that work Know you was tripping in Being locked to the earth Worry later No time for us to focus on what's past tense And besides Our problems Getting over that fence So lock both your hands Act like you been known Setting off fireworks You know my kinfolks 12 round the corner They judging our sins hoe Once your feet hit that gravel Nigga just run! Running from the guns Point and shoot We used to played up on the playground Running from the guns Who thought Hardest part would be for me to stay down Running from the gun Breaks my heart If you decide to fly away now Running from the guns I am Running from the guns
