about

'On The Run' eplores the freedom of youth and the idea that we feel industructable, and just wanting to explore every aspect of life.

lyrics

When I was younger
I was a fool for your love
And now we’re strangers
Like the soon and the moon above

I have to get away
To the hills where the river flows
I am a runaway
Your face is everywhere I go

So watch me leave this shitty town
I'm going to a place
Where no one else will be around
So watch me leave this shitty town
You know I never needed you

Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Now I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want

Smoking cigarettes
Even though I hate the smell
How quickly we forget
Just how to be ourselves

But now I’m far away
With just a suitcase in my car
And I’m sleeping out
Under a blanket of stars

So watch me leave this shitty town
I'm going to a place
Where no one else will be around
So watch me leave this shitty town
You know I never needed you

Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Now I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want

Now I’m driving out and getting away
Watch my broken taillights fade
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want
Yeah I throw my hair all over the place
And I’m eating off of paper plates
I’m free to do anything
Free to be whoever I want

When I was younger
I was a fool for your love
