We moved like shadows under streetlights on a summer night
Breaking off into the hedgerows and vanishing from sight
I've lived here all my life
I've lived here all my life
We'd run like thieves beyond the whistling hydro-lines
White water biting at our ankles at the riverside
I've lived here all my life
I've lived here all my life
When I close my eyes
We're still running downhill
And gathering speed
And for a moment there it felt like we could fly
Then we tumbled down head over feet
And when I close my eyes
You're still looking back at me
This city feels like a bustling tomb sometimes
Corridors of empty storefront window lights
I've lived here all my life
I've lived here all my life
When I close my eyes
We're still running downhill
And gathering speed
And for a moment there it felt like we could fly
Then we tumbled down head over feet
When I close my eyes
We're still running downhill
And gathering speed
And for a moment there it felt like we could fly
Then we tumbled down head over feet
And when I close my eyes
You're still looking back at me
And this furlough from love
Was all just a terrible dream
And when close my eyes
We're still running downhill
And gathering speed
And for a moment there it felt like we could fly
Then we tumbled down head over feet
When I open my eyes
You'll be looking back at me
