Running For Cover

(Verse 1)

The porch light is flickering, dying away

There’s nothing left for a sinner to say

I packed up the ghost of the life that we built

While trying to swallow the weight of the guilt

The keys on the counter, the silence is loud

I’m lost like a shadow that’s chasing a cloud

(Pre-Chorus)

I looked at the wreckage, the choices I’d made

While watching the colors of everything fade

The price of the ending was no big surprise

And that's when the tears filled her eyes

(Chorus)

Now I’m running for cover in the middle of June

Chasing the light of a hollowed-out moon

I’m leaving the pieces of us in the street

With the rhythm of concrete under my feet

Yeah, I’m chasing a ghost that I’ll never outrun

Under the weight of the damage I’ve done

(Verse 2)

You stood in the kitchen, just watching me go

With a look in your eyes like a wintry snow

I told you I loved you, but love wasn't enough

To smooth out the edges of living so rough

I reached for the handle, I headed for out

Wrapped in the jacket of worry and doubt

(Bridge)

I’m sorry for promises I couldn't keep

For the secrets I buried a little too deep

The map that we followed was missing a page

Just two lonely actors on a broken stage

(Chorus)

Now I’m running for cover in the middle of June

Chasing the light of a hollowed-out moon

I’m leaving the pieces of us in the street

With the rhythm of concrete under my feet

Yeah, I’m chasing a ghost that I’ll never outrun

Under the weight of the damage I’ve done

(Outro)

Yeah, the tears filled her eyes.

And I just kept walking.

No more lies. No more talking.

I’m gone

Ohhhh I’m gone
