The third and final new song from Aplin’s EP, Run for Cover is the tale of a relationship that’s no more but still leaves both parties trapped with nowhere left to run.
[Verse 1]
There's a whisper in my chest
It's telling me
The best is yet to come
Hiding in the night
Shadows speak
Telling me to run
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We had our chance, but it's over now
We gave it all to the lost and found
[Chorus]
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
Wheels keep turning
And I'm going under
Going under
I've already packed my promises
They're waiting by the door
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
[Verse 2]
Try to turn away
Got tangled in the past
It's overgrown
I look up to the sky
Try to spread my wings
But that bird's already flown
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm reaching out for the higher ground
But we gave it all to the lost and found
[Chorus]
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
Wheels keep turning
And I'm going under
Going under
I've already packed my promises
They're waiting by the door
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
[Bridge]
We are dreams of foolish gold
Live recklessly with our hearts
And with hands too hard to hold
You wrapped me into your arms
You wrapped me into your arms
[Breakdown]
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
[Chorus]
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
Wheels keep turning
And I'm going under
Going under
I've already packed my promises
They're waiting by the door
The house is burning
Better run for cover
Run for cover
Run for cover
