[Verse 1] He talks too fast Never blinks back Pocket full of keys And a black trash bag Polite in the hall Smile like a knife You'd never guess What's eating his mind He counts the steps He counts the cracks Keeps a little list In a paper sack [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat race Hands don't shake He wears a calm face Till it breaks One more room One more name He says it low Like a prayer in pain [Chorus] Run, run, run When he says your name Run, run, run He's lost inside his brain Run, run, run That smile won't stay Run, run, run Get out the way [Verse 2] Laundry still warm Plate by the sink He leaves them all With too much to think He hears the floor He hears the door He wants the hush And then he wants more Cold little house Cold little grin No one sees the storm Rattling under his skin [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat race Hands don't shake He wears a calm face Till it breaks One more room One more name He says it low Like a prayer in pain [Chorus] Run, run, run When he says your name Run, run, run He's lost inside his brain Run, run, run That smile won't stay Run, run, run Get out the way [Bridge] He is not a ghost He's a man gone wrong A wound that learned How to sing along So lock that door Keep your light on When the laugh gets close Then he is gone [Final Chorus] Run, run, run When he says your name Run, run, run He's lost inside his brain Run, run, run That smile won't stay Run, run, run Get out the way Run, run, run Don't let him in Run, run, run It's how the fear begins
