lyrics

You said it was okay, that we slept right through the day
‘cos everything worth doing happens in the night time
We had more cans that we could carry and no sense of direction
We went towards the city, but lost our way

And ran, ran, ran and I don’t know why, we were invincible that night
We ran, ran, ran and I wish that I still felt invincible tonight
But I can’t sleep without picturing my death
And wondering how long I’ve got left

I woke up by a fountain with no idea what I’d done
I could’ve slept for hours if it wasn’t for the rising sun
You were in a worse state, we were lost and hopeless
We just sat there until we heard sirens on the horizon

Then we ran, ran, ran and I don’t know why, we were invincible that night
We ran, ran, ran and I wish that I still felt invincible tonight
But I can’t sleep without picturing my death
And wondering how long I’ve got left
I can’t sleep without picturing my death
And wondering how long I’ve got left

Then a few years later we tried to sleep behind
A fast food truck at the dead of night
But we were a little older and I was kinda scared
I couldn’t turn my mind off my body was unprepared
For the cold winds that bothered me like they never had before
The rain was lacerating, and I could run no more
The world seemed so much darker and I could barely see
I’d slowed to a crawl under eyes so heavy

But I can’t sleep without picturing my death
And wondering how long I’ve got left
I can’t sleep without picturing my death
And wondering how long I’ve got left
