Paper Route

You and I



Lyrics

I waited for you
I'm a photograph on your floor
That you found in your bedroom
Now you wish you could ignore

All my desperate words fall
I'm the sound of a dead language I know
I waited for you
I'm everything you worry for

I'm shooting arrows and I wear your pin
But there's nothing left here to believe in

So run for your life now
Maybe you won't, you wanna stay here
Live underground
We need to get out, the going is good
We gotta turn off the lights, we gotta run for the woods now
You and I, we lie awake at night

I waited for this
I'm the letter that you never sent
I'm just a shot at forgiveness
All the words now taken back

Everyway I need you
Pull me through every memory you thread
I've waited for this, it's every wound I won't forget
You made your move now it's mine again
Can I give you something to believe in

So run for your life now
Maybe you won't, you wanna stay here
Live underground
We need to get out, the going is good
We gotta turn off the lights, we gotta run for the woods now
You and I, we lie awake at night

Runaway, runaway, runaway, but don't go
Til you've heard every word I've said
Runaway, runaway, runaway, but just know
I will be two steps ahead

You and I

So run for your life now
Maybe you won't, you wanna stay here
Live underground
We need to get out, the going is good
We gotta turn off the lights, we gotta run for the woods now
You and I, we lie awake at night
