[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, melodic electric guitar lead] [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar, bass, and drums] They say she was born with a suitcase in her hand Cigarette halo, messy hair, leather dress Moon on her shoulder as she's laughing at the law Kisses like a confession that she never tells them all She's driving on a scooter through the alleys, through the bars Leaving tiny broken souvenirs in every heart Every red light flickers like it's waving her away But she only hears the sirens sing her name [Chorus] [full band, layered vocal harmonies] They call her girl on the run, on the run, all on the run Carving a name in the night Hey, carabinier in the rearview blur Chasing a taillight, she keeps breaking laws, breaking hearts Drops them like glass in the dark Everybody swears they won't fall until she smiles and pulls them apart Yeah, girl on the run, on the run, she don't ever stay for the dawn Just a restless soul in a fast car body already gone [Post-Chorus] [acoustic guitar and light percussion] [Verse 2] [bass and drums enter] They watch her on the corner with her headphones turned up loud Eyes like open windows to a storm behind the clouds She dances 'cross the crosswalk like the world's her private stage Leaves a boy against a brick wall learning how to taste the ache Blue lights curl around her like a promise and a threat They write her name on paper but they never make it stick Every fingerprint she leaves on a window, on a sheet Is a wanted poster that the city never keeps [Chorus] [full band energy] They call her girl on the run, on the run, all on the run Carving a name in the night Hey, carabinier in the rearview blur Chasing a taillight, she keeps breaking laws, breaking hearts Drops them like glass in the dark Everybody swears they won't fall until she smiles and pulls them apart Yeah, girl on the run, on the run, she don't ever stay for the dawn Just a restless soul in a fast car body already gone Already gone [Bridge] [stripped back instrumentation, acoustic guitar focus] Some say she's a legend, some say she's a crime Somewhere between a blessing and a warning sign If you see her in the city, don't you dare look twice 'Cause a single second costs you half your life [Chorus] [full band, high energy] They call her girl on the run, on the run, all on the run Carving a name in the night Hey, carabinier in the rearview blur Chasing a taillight, she keeps breaking laws, breaking hearts Drops them like glass in the dark Everybody swears they won't fall until she smiles and pulls them apart Yeah, girl on the run, on the run, she don't ever stay for the dawn Just a restless soul and a trail of stories already gone
