There’s nothing left for you and me, but the belly of the sun as it descends below the sea.
Painting mountains like a blackboard, counting down the days a haze of chalk dust on our feet.
So we can ride upon the darkness, a heart of you and me.
And we won’t shiver when the moment comes to turn away and see,
It’s not the same it’s not the same, so
Runaway, cos I won’t be the one to hear you say,
That you were drowning in this place, so
Turn away, cos I won’t be the one that made you stay,
When I am drowning just the same as you,
So what do we do?
There’s nothing left for you and me, and I don’t wanna be the rope that ties itself around your feet.
So cut the cord and let me go, this is the place where we all know.
What it is that we should do, but I’m too scared to see this through.
No I don’t want to look and see,
It’s not the same it’s not the same, as you and me.
Runaway, cos I won’t be the one to hear you say,
That you were drowning in this place, so
Turn away, cos I won’t be the one that made you stay,
When I am drowning just the same as you,
So what do we do now?
This is the place, this is the place, this is the place where we call home.
This is the place, this is the place.
But it’s not the same, as living.
No it’s not the same as living, when you’re living on the edge.
I’m sick and tired of pulling teeth, of wondering where I’m meant to be.
When this is all that I call home.
So I’m running from the blackness, with chalk dust on my feet.
Cos you’re running from this city, with a part of you and me.
