[Verse 1] When your inner child turns gray The swing set rusts in your chest You count the cracks in the floor Like they’re miles from the last Hope sits small in the drawer Wander lost its shoes [Pre-Chorus] And I know that look In your tired-eyed face Like the map got folded And the road washed away [Chorus] Don’t let it all turn gray Don’t let it all turn gray Hold that little light Hold that little light We can still run wild We can still run wild Even now, even now Even now [Verse 2] You used to chase the creek Barefoot through the cane Now the weeks stack high Like rain on a pane But there’s still a spark In the back of your mind Still a kid in there Trying to survive [Pre-Chorus] So when the night gets long And the doubts come loud Let me be the hand Pulling you out [Chorus] Don’t let it all turn gray Don’t let it all turn gray Hold that little light Hold that little light We can still run wild We can still run wild Even now, even now Even now [Bridge] If the years took color We can steal it back From the red in your cheeks To the beat in your step Say my name out loud Let it crack that shell There’s a younger you You can save as well [Final Chorus] Don’t let it all turn gray Don’t let it all turn gray Hold that little light Hold that little light We can still run wild We can still run wild Even now, even now Even now
