[Verse 1] Carly went down to Nashville Cold November rain Eighteen years, a borrowed dream Trying to outrun her name Guitar case, no looking back Burning sky overhead Said she wasn’t scared of nothing But she was scared of being left [Chorus] Running for the light With the dark closing in Chasing something better Just to feel it in her skin Running for the light Till the fire goes cold She was chasing that dream But the night pulled her on [Verse 2] Played her first show on a Friday Nine souls, cheap bar glow Sang like the room was full Like she already knew the road That’s when she met Tommy G Soft voice, restless grin Old Chevy, bad kind of calm Said, “Girl, let me walk you in” [Verse 3] Tommy had a quiet secret Kept it close, kept it clean Said it helped him sleep at night Said it helped him breathe Swore he had it under control Swore it weren’t that deep Truth don’t make a sound It just waits till you sleep [Chorus] Running for the light With the dark closing in Chasing something better Just to feel it in her skin Running for the light Till the fire goes cold She was chasing that dream But the night pulled her on [Bridge] One night turned into every night Just something to take the edge Something warm inside her veins Something she could forget Streetlight shaking on the wall Breathing getting slow She laid her dream down on the floor And let the darkness go [Final Chorus] Running for the light With the dark closing in Chasing something better Just to feel it in her skin Running for the light Till the fire goes cold She was chasing that dream But the night pulled her on
