I sleep to dream in this old house Only wake for the night The city's queen and she holds me 'Til the first sight of daylight Tryin' to get through the breakdown Find a way out of this town Or in a lake of fire we'll surely drown That's alright if you're with me And that's why I'll run From the shine of the sun That's stealing dark from the night sky ♪ My heart is yours for the takin' If you want to take it I know you're scared you might break it Girl, it's been breakin' all my life I've been running on empty Like the ones here before me And all this hurt our hearts are hauling Hurts a little less each day And that's why we'll run From the shine of the sun That's stealing dark from the night sky ♪ And I held you close to me Showed you where my heart would be So when it came time again for me to leave You'd be carryin' a part of me Let's try to get through the breakdown Find a way out of this town Or in a lake of fire we'll surely drown But that's alright if you're with me And that's why we'll run From the shine of the sun Stealin' dark from the night sky ♪ For our lives we'll run From the shine of the sun Stealin' dark from the night sky
