Don’t Go Dark Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What are you gonna ride for no one at all?
Hey, are you gonna cry on demand just to get your number called?
Oh, baby, I kow gone, I know gone, I know out of this world
'Cause I've slept in my bed alone next to my girl
So do what you want, just don't go dark on me
[Chorus]
'Cause you run, run, run, run with the wild
Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
And you're waitin' to be saved, but ain't nobody comin'
It's the same party trick, you're a dream until you're runnin'
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
Oh, just don't go dark on me
[Post-Chorus]
Run, run, run, run with the wild
You always run, run, run, run with the wild
[Verse 2]
I dream a little dream, she's not out of it
Then I watch her take another pill, take another pic, then flip another switch
And now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's out of this world
It's like California dreamin' got the best of my girl
So do what you want, just take your sights off of me, yeah, hey, hey
[Chorus]
'Cause you run, run, run, run with the wild
Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
And you're waitin' to be saved, but ain't nobody comin'
If you're holdin' on to me, you're holdin' on to nothing
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
Well, just don't go dark on me
[Post-Chorus]
Run, run, run, run with the wild
You always run, run, run, run with the wild
[Bridge]
You know, all this time apart, I finally see it, honey
Yeah, you've just been waiting your whole life to find someone who can stand in your storm
I stood there and something was missing
I still see you, honey, babe, but it ain't me that you'll be kissin'
[Chorus]
'Cause you run, run, run, run with the devil
Then you cry on my shoulder like I'm forever
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
And you keep playin' to that chip, chip on your shoulder
Yeah, you carry that around, it's like tryin' to get to nowhere
Do what you want, just don't go dark on me
Well, just don't go dark on me
[Outro]
Run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
(Are you gonna, are you gonna do this to me?)
Just to run, run, run, run with the wild
Oh, so you just don't go dark on me
So you just don't go dark on me
Just don't go dark on me, baby

Jack Antonoff:
[The song that came first] was “Don’t Go Dark,” which was a literal account of the end of a relationship. I love that song. Lana helped on that. Because I was just singing “Run, run, run, run with the wild,” and then she was like, [singing] “Do what you want.” And I was like, “Just d...
What have the artists said about the song?
Jack Antonoff:
I’d never written a song like this. It’s not ‘I love you’. It’s not ‘I hate you’. It’s ‘you’ve got to get off my back. You’ve got to let me go.’ I can’t be me for new people who I’m trying to love if I’m holding your darkness. I can hold you and I can hold our past and all these thin...
