[Verse 1]
Lead the way, the fire escape
And I will meet you down the street
Lie for me
Maybe we could be a pair or just exist between

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I’m that kind of runaway
When I don't want the world to know
And even if I try to stay
Eventually, I'll go

[Chorus]
I need shelter
Won’t you help me?
In this silence
Why is something dead not killing me?
Why is something dead not killing me? Oh

[Post-Chorus]
(Why is something dead not killing me? Oh)

[Verse 2]
Hesitate, maybe we could push for yellow
'Till we pave to grey
Will I go some way in a crash of a wave?
Car crash or a plane goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm that kind of runaway
When I don't want the world to know
And even if I try to stay
Eventually I'll go (Go)

[Chorus]
I need shelter
Won't you help me?
In this silence
Why is something dead not killing me?
Why is something dead not killing me? Oh

[Post-Chorus]
(Why is something dead not killing me? Oh)

[Bridge]
Hit me with your late call, in the night
Hit me with your sad song, it might be deadly
We're always in between the black and white
So why is something dead not killing me?

[Chorus]
(Runaway)
I need shelter (Shelter)
Won’t you help me?
In this silence
Why is something dead not killing me?
Why is something dead not killing me? Oh
[Post-Chorus]
(Runaway)
(Silence)
(Try to stay)
(Eventually) Why is something dead not killing me? Oh
