[intro, outside footsteps] [Man 1, rushed, breathy] Yo, we gotta move, now! [car peels away, gunshots, car screeches.] [Verse 1] Heartbeat drummin' on the window pane Headlights cuttin' through the pourin' rain Got that feeling, somethin' in the air One wrong move, and they'll be everywhere Foot on the gas, pedal to the floor Ain't no lookin' back, ain't no knockin' on their door Just the engine hummin', a low, steady plea Prayin' that this ride is gonna set us free [Chorus] Runnin', runnin', ain't no stoppin' us now Every mile a promise, somehow, some way, some how Sweat and gasoline, a bitter, sweet perfume Outrunnin' shadows, outrunnin' doom Yeah, we're runnin', runnin', leave the past behind A new horizon waitin' for us to find Just keep on pushin', 'til the break of day Gonna make it out, gonna get away [Verse 2] Streetlights blur into a faded line Every exit sign, a different place in time Radio static, a broken, distant sound Tryna lose the chase, on this forgotten ground Got that taste of metal, fear inside my mouth North, south, east, west, just gettin' out One hand on the wheel, one on my fate Too late for apologies, too early to wait [Chorus] Runnin', runnin', ain't no stoppin' us now Every mile a promise, somehow, some way, some how Sweat and gasoline, a bitter, sweet perfume Outrunnin' shadows, outrunnin' doom Yeah, we're runnin', runnin', leave the past behind A new horizon waitin' for us to find Just keep on pushin', 'til the break of day Gonna make it out, gonna get away [Bridge] Breath comes ragged, every turn a gasp Holdin' on so tight, in this moment's grasp Eyes in the mirror, seein' what's behind A phantom presence, messin' with my mind This ain't just escape, it's a desperate fight Chasin' down the sunrise, through the endless night [Short Breakdown, off-beat dizziness/drunk] (Engine sputters, tires squeal softly, distorted whispers) Is this real? Or just a dream? (Silence, then a deep, ragged breath) [Resumes] Heartbeat steady, back in the zone Gotta keep on movin', gotta make it home [Chorus] Runnin', runnin', ain't no stoppin' us now Every mile a promise, somehow, some way, some how Sweat and gasoline, a bitter, sweet perfume Outrunnin' shadows, outrunnin' doom Yeah, we're runnin', runnin', leave the past behind A new horizon waitin' for us to find Just keep on pushin', 'til the break of day Gonna make it out, gonna get away [Outro, tight solo drum echo] (Car fades into the distance, drum beat echoes, then silence) Gonna get away... Yeah... (Fade out)
