lyrics

[verse 1:]
eyes on the concrete
i'm a deer in headlights, but you won't see
you're the only one who knows what that means
so here's your immortality
and i want to feel the cold night air on my arms
want to know i've got something to keep warm
you're a classic case of doorway sparks
but i'm just a light in the dark

[prechorus:]
and it's your cold shoulders, my cold shoulder
it's empty spaces in haunted places

[chorus:]
so keep away your hope and kerosene
and everything dangerous
'cause i'm not counting on it this time
i'm not counting on you this time
show me just the brightest shades of ultramarine
you're everything dangerous
and i'm not falling for it this time
i'm not falling for...

[verse 2:]
time travel, freeze frame
how could i have known your name?
it's universes, what a shame
it always has to end this way
and i want to feel the cold night air on my arms
want to know i've got something to keep warm
stepping out from the glow of doorway sparks
i am no lighter than your dark

[prechorus]

[chorus]

[bridge:]
so stop—
apartments and empty plans
you're not the first or the worst
but maybe i am
so run before you have to, kid
run before you have to
yeah, it's a broken game and you might lose
so run before you have to
oh, run like you mean it
gotta know that you mean it
just promise me you mean it

[chorus]
