[Verse 1]
Running down the empty streets
Our footsteps on the shiny dawn
Our echoing ahead of us
Moving faster than we ever are
[Pre-Chorus]
But it don't matter how fast we run
It don't matter how far we get
We know we can't hide from what's to come
Down the road, headed on
[Chorus]
Oh, brother, we keep falling down (falling down)
Oh, but we are rivers to the hour
And we will try to remember
When our hearts turn to ember
When they catch us and take us down
Oh, brother, we keep falling down
[Verse 2]
Finally we reached a sea
As it stretches beyond the line
The youth we had was stolen, lost
And we watch it, as it slowly dies
[Pre-Chorus]
But it don't matter how fast we run
It don't matter how far we get
We know we can't hide from what's to come
Down the road, headed on
[Chorus]
Oh, brother, we keep falling down (falling down)
Oh, but we are rivers to the hour
And we will try to remember
When our hearts turn to ember
When they catch us and take us down
Oh, brother, we keep falling down
