[Verse 1]
Running
I left the city running
Needed the time and space
To find out what is missing
[Pre-Chorus]
Will I wake up to you in the morning light? (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Breathing in, breathing out, I'm terrified (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Did I win? Did I lose? Did we have this fight?
There’s no reason to try it (Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
Don't wanna carry on
We don't listen to the same song (Ooh, ooh)
We’ve been here far too long
You think you're right, I know you're wrong
[Verse 2]
I was dreaming
I was walking on the white sand (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You were close by
And wanted to come over
[Pre-Chorus]
Will I wake up to you in the morning light?
Breathing in, breathing out, I'm terrified
Did I win? Did I lose? Did we have this fight?
'Cause I'm done with trying
[Chorus]
Don't wanna carry on
We don't listen to the same song (Ooh, ooh)
We’ve been here far too long
You think you’re right, I know you're wrong
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna carry on
We don't listen to the same song (Ooh, ooh)
We've been here far too long
You think you're right, I know you’re wrong (Ooh, ooh)
Don't wanna carry on (Don't wanna carry on)
We don't listen to the same song (Listen to the same song, ooh, ooh)
We've been here far too long (We've been here far too long)
You think you're right, I know you're wrong (Ooh, ooh)
[Outro]
We've been here far too long
We've been here far too long
