[Instrumental break]
[Verse 1]
If I could wake my crooked heart
If I was there right from the start
To feel what it was like to be turned on

If you could fight the battle and win
To miss the mark correct within
If your wish came true, your dreams made real

[Chorus 1]
Running for cover
Running to hide

[Verse 2]
If I could be a wiser man
To rest my head and trust the plan
I'm fighting like a child to get my way

If I could see the garden place
Before the fall would things have changed?
I wasn't there and neither were you
But I'll take the blame as you should too, my friend

[Chorus 2]
Now we're running for cover
Running to hide
Yeah, we're running for cover
Running to hide
We've been trying with each other to unravel the age old story
But I'm starting to think that there's a reason we don't understand
And it's easy to blame someone else for my wants and my worry
But now I accept that it's just a part of who I am

[Chorus 1]
Now we're running for cover
Running to hide

And you say it's not my problem
Out of sight, out of mind

Yes, we're running for cover
Yeah, we're running afraid
As we war with one another
Oh, the mess that we've made
