lyrics

Listen

I promise not to break you,
or even hear you breathe.
I just won’t try to make this up
‘cause it won’t set you free,
all of these promises you’re lying, you lie in front of me,
and all these distances I’m flying, you said you won’t look up to see.
Just let her be.

She holds onto life
oh, she’s broken sleep and sweating,
soaking the shirt she’s wearing.
She holds onto life,
If she lies really still now
the thoughts will blow out to the night.

Running faster, running harder,
Even when there is nothing to outrun.
Running harder, running faster.
I spat my final word,
on a mess that could almost be heard,
where all the fine lines were double crossed and blurred.
Running faster, running harder,
even where there is nothing to outrun
running harder, running faster, no, no, no, no, no!
Just let her be.

She holds onto life
oh, she’s broken sleep and sweating,
soaking the shirt she’s wearing.
She holds onto life,
If she lies really still now
the thoughts will blow out to the night.

I want to go
but I can hear her breathing
and I am so sure that it’s not right,
not the time to let her know.
So we lie down
staring at the ceiling
and the paint is peeling
and I’m sure that it’s not right
right, right, right, right.
