Girl, you’ve got Heaven’s green eyes
Dig your nails into my heart
'Til they’re soaked in blood
You’ve got everything I
Never knew I needed
'Til you slipped through the door

And I am a forest fire
And you are a tall glass of water

I think I saw you
When you were younger
Running away on an endless summer
I held you too close
Until you let go
Running away, away

Slick American cowboy
I was dancing in the shoes
That my father wore
You were the only green light
I’d ever seen
Driving this shattered boulevard

And I was dry as a desert floor
And you were the rain I was thirsty for

I think I saw you
When you were younger
Running away on an endless summer
I held you too close
Until you let go
Running away, away, away

You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh

Won’t you get away with me
I’ll take you where the fields are green
Dip me where the river’s clean
And scrub away these stains
Switch up this old routine
Pour a little gasoline
On the fire we started
Before we lost our way

Before we lost our way

I think I saw you
When you were younger
Running away on an endless summer
I held you too close
Until you let go
Running away, away, away

You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh

You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh
You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh
You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh
You were running away, away, away
You were running away, oh
