lyrics

Run at the speed of light
and don’t look back until you’re out of sight
until your hearts contented
don’t turn around till you’re safe and sound

showers on but you can’t get clean
because their hands are on you
street lights make the shadows come alive
the footsteps from behind you, are quickening

and now your home and sinking in
the bedroom walls are paper thin
you’re hearing voices talk about you
and the car horn ruined the surprise

breathe a sigh of relief you come to your senses
as we try to carry you away
the bitterness has broken you
your body’s used it’s black and blue
you’d give it all to turn back time

look outside your window girl
there’s a world there waiting
do you plan on taking your revenge
or do you plan escaping

cause if we see it through to next year
we might make it out alive
we’ll take it one day at a time
step by step and try by try
but the weekends starting tonight

breathe a sigh of relief you come to your senses
as we try to carry you away
the bitterness has broken you
your body’s used it’s black and blue
you’d give it all

Standing still as statues
in this homemade barricade
and I hope that our bodies collide again

Pray for a miracle
