Title: Runaway Lights You were working late on a broken street Counting change just to make ends meet I was dreaming big with a restless heart Trying to find where the edges start You said, “We could leave this town tonight Find a road where it feels alright” We didn’t have much, just a worn-out dream But it felt like more than it seemed Windows down, no looking back Just a map with fading tracks We were chasing those runaway lights Burning through every wrong and right Thought we’d make it out somehow Swore we’d never slow down But the miles turned into years And the hope got lost in fears Now I’m standing here alone tonight Watching fading runaway lights Got a job in a crowded place Saw the worry in your face Bills kept piling like falling rain Every dollar just felt the same You said, “This ain’t what we dreamed it’d be” I said, “Just hold on, stay with me” But the silence grew in between Like a crack no one could see Long nights, no words to say Love was slipping away We were chasing those runaway lights Burning through every wrong and right Thought we’d make it out somehow Swore we’d never slow down But the miles turned into years And the hope got lost in fears Now I’m standing here alone tonight Watching fading runaway lights Maybe we were just too young Running hard from where we’re from Thinking love could fix it all Never thought that we could fall Now your side of the bed’s just cold And this story’s already told We were chasing those runaway lights Trying to turn the dark to bright Guess some roads just lead you back To the things you lack Now I see it clear somehow We were lost, we just didn’t know how To hold on through the fight To those fading runaway lights Yeah, those runaway lights… Just disappeared into the night
