well, my stomach turned when the blood hit the floor
but in my mind, we were crying for more
the sweat mixed with the oxygen
and the lies into the estrogen
last night we slept in the back of my car
put the emergency break on so we couldn't go far
the sky turned to black and we blended it with the tar
like an artist with his paints, we let it rewind
we ran down the street with the asphalt in our feet
I ran from myself (you ran from the law)
the shoulder of the highway, angled like your tears
made us forget our lives and our fears
and though we've been running for all these years
maybe we've finally gotten away
we've gotten away
we went down the offramp, burning rubber as we flew
your skin started being your eyes
a broken bleeding blue
well, we didn't know what to do
I told you once and I'll tell you again
we've been where we're going
and we're going where we've been
when the clock hits twelve
into the ocean we'll delve
all buried and burned
oh, the world has turned
