lyrics

On the bench by the stairs,
you will find her, you will find me
tripping on her arm.
Malicious words, ambiguous symbols,
spiraling snakes.
Permanent ink never did no harm.
Until a rat sounds the alarm.

You're running, and I've been running.
You're running, and I've been running.
Time's burning, and school's no fun.
And they're chasing, and we are running out.

In the classroom at the back,
another kid's put on the rack,
numbers multiply on the board.
Below the silence, we conspire,
prepare the teacher for the fire.
Human sacrifice in the eleventh grade.
Seventeen's a license to misbehave.

You're running, and I've been running.
You're running, and I've been running.
Time's burning, and school's no fun.
And they're chasing, and we are running out.

They always say, we're bad together.
I just want to say, we badly need each other.

On the field on Friday night,
you grip my hand, I hold you tight,
as we star into the stars.
The future fuels uncertain dreams,
I hemorrhage at the open seams
with unanswerable questions.
You say we have our whole life
to answer them together.

You're running, and I've been running.
You're running, and I've been running.
Time's burning, and school's no fun.
And they're chasing, and we are running out.
