Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down

Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You'll hit the deck you'll get found out
Save it for later
Don't runaway and let me down, you let me down
You run away, run away, run away, run away, run away, run away
And let me down
