lyrics

I’m running wild in my birthplace
Could be all I ever know
Why’d I start running in the first place?
Why don’t I want to let go?

Every time Mariah bats an eyelash
I take my country to war
But I dropped my weapons down the mineshaft
And I can’t remember what for

It’s a dream I won’t remember
It’s a vision I can’t see
It’s a love I know I’ll never get back
And it’s making a fool of me

You picked me up at the station
But I had nothing to give
My never-ending desperation
It tells me I wanna live

Up all night searching the horizon
Woke up with nothing to say
The car alarms were harmonizing
They couldn’t keep me away

It’s a dream you won’t remember
It’s a prayer that won’t come true
It’s a love you know you’ll never get back
And it’s making a fool of you

It’s a pact we broke for nothing
It’s a loss that we won’t grieve
It’s the plot that you got stuck in
It’s a fact I won’t believe, but I never wanted to leave

It’s a dream we won’t remember
It’s a vow that we can’t trust
It’s a love we know we’ll never get back
And it’s making a fool of us
