[Verse 1] Sweat on my neck in the taxi light You drew a heart on the fogged-up glass Said, "Baby, we could disappear tonight" Before this city ever looks us back Scooters scream past ancient stone My phone keeps buzzing, I flip it down Your laugh cuts sharp through the traffic moan You kiss me hard just to shut me out [Pre-Chorus] Every rule I ever learned Melts like sugar on your tongue We’re a rumor on these steps Running out of breath, but young [Chorus] So we run, we run from Rome Down these burning cobblestones Shouting out that we’re not going home (we’re not going home, no) Hands on fire, hearts half-broke Kissing where the statues glow If we lose it all, at least we know We were screaming when we let it go We were screaming when we let it go [Verse 2] Midnight smoke from a stranger’s camp By the river where the stone lions stare You steal grapes from a market stand Say, "Saints can’t save us, they were never there" We climb up high where the city bends Terracotta roofs in a fever haze You light a match just to watch it end Tiny sun in your shaking hands [Pre-Chorus] All the might-have-beens I nursed Blow like ash across your face You say, "Love me like it hurts Like we’re running out of place" [Chorus] So we run, we run from Rome Down these burning cobblestones Shouting out that we’re not going home (we’re not going home, no) Hands on fire, hearts half-broke Kissing where the statues glow If we lose it all, at least we know We were screaming when we let it go We were screaming when we let it go [Bridge] I don’t want a quiet life I want your voice inside the noise I want sirens in the distance While you’re laughing through the pain Throw our futures in the fountain Watch the silver sink below Tell the night we’re not its prisoners We’re the ones who set it all in motion [Chorus] So we run, we run from Rome Down these burning cobblestones Shouting out that we’re not going home (we’re not going home, no) Heatwave skin and torn-up hopes Breathless on the viale glow If we lose it all, at least we know We were screaming when we let it go Yeah, we’re screaming as we let it go
