Still Out There Running (Live at Red Rocks / September 20, 2020)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, baby
We could set the whole thing on fire
I was the king of standing alone
Looking back to see how far you've flown
I ain't grown and I ain't changed at all
Yeah, honey
Think that I'm afraid
Afraid my voice don't even sound the same
There's some pitch I can't even hear at all
Push my voice now to hear it stall
I'm choking on every word
And maybe
Maybe we'll find a place to stretch our wings
Rest upon cliffs overlooking scenes
Scenes we don't write and we don't fall between
Ah, we're just falling again
[Chorus]
Wake me up, see the fire has fully surrounded us
Hey, I know, as I'm coughing up all the ashes
Of the friends
And the love I used to know
It's still out there running
[Verse 2]
Yeah, baby
We could set the whole thing ablaze
Watch the crowd's eyes open amazed
They're just standing in the smoke of the dead
Hear them whispering their stories, man
It'll never change the time they're gone
And honey
You think that I'm a fool to be
So deep in it now that I can't see
I just wait for you to call my name
Ain't it always been the same?
We just keep passing on the wrong time
And maybe
Maybe we'll go to the other side of town
Remember that old house, baby, we ran down?
The nights on the floor were so perfect then
Remember when the sun was coming up that red?
And the fire in our bed
Ah, baby
Could set the whole thing on fire
I was the king of standing alone
Looking back to see how far you've flown
I ain't grown and I ain't changed at all
Looking down to see how far you've fallen
[Chorus]
Wake me up, see the fire has fully surrounded us
Hey, I know as I'm choking upon the ashes
Of the friends
And the love I used to know
Used to know back then
