[Verse 1] Gas station glass all cracked Cold fries by the rack A bag of chips on the floor Ripped open, by the door Blue glare on the tile Shoes moved in a file Cashier froze in the lane Hands up, holding pain [Pre-Chorus] Nobody said a word Just the humming heard One gun, maybe two But the whole room knew [Chorus] Run, run, run Out that aisle Run, run, run Don’t stay awhile Chips on the ground And a rolling lime Run, run, run If you want time [Verse 2] Receipt tape twisting down Soda drips on the groun A stranger by the slot Looked away, then forgot Moon in the windshield haze Headlights cut through the blaze Sirens came too late At the edge of fate [Pre-Chorus] Nobody said a word Just the humming heard One gun, maybe two But the whole room knew [Chorus] Run, run, run Out that aisle Run, run, run Don’t stay awhile Chips on the ground And a rolling lime Run, run, run If you want time [Bridge] I seen that bag torn open By the freezer wall Seen fear on a soda case When the echoes called If you ever hear that pop You don’t look back You just move You just move fast [Chorus] Run, run, run Out that aisle Run, run, run Don’t stay awhile Chips on the ground And a rolling lime Run, run, run If you want time [Outro] run run R! U! N! RUN!! (RUN Girl)
